Poster: A snowHead

snowdave - I guess I am used to flying out of Gatwick and HR so I never really have an issue. I can see how it would be a problem at the smaller airports. Seems it is getting all out of control.....

Obviously A snowHead isn't a real person

If you near Southend surely it makes sense to drive and not have any of these concerns?

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

just another reason to try and avoid them. If you put boots in a normal carry on it is not obv that there are ski boots in it. Security dont check what airline you are flying on so once you are past security you are fine. I always try and fly BA or Swiss, much easier and prices arent all that different really and no hassles! On EJ are skis and boots in sep bags counted as one bag?? |
I can confirm it was 'security' at Southend that discovered the hand luggage with ski boots, and turned the traveller back.

andy from embsay, Just "in case" I do end up on an EJ flight, do you have that email from them about boots and ski bag being counted as one item? Could you post it maybe? Cheers

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Anyone have experience with EJ from Gatwick re boots in hand luggage? I'm flying out for a weekend in a couple of weeks and by preference would take boots in hand luggage and hire skis out there. If I'm not able to do this I will probably pay for skis and boots but at £27 each way it adds up plus I'll be waiting around for luggage (with mate who allready has kit out in resort). I'd take the boots in a sturdy rucksack so unless security stop me I can't see it being detected but any first hand experience would be good to hear.
