Packing Skis, avoiding damage.

Yes its a fanfare, silly IMO. :twisted:
Or the morons that jump up as soon as the seat belt light goes out to drag everything out of the overhead lockers that took them ages to ram up there!
Some of us independent travelling morons who have hand baggage only, have trains to catch, and need to move sharpish :D
We flew Austrian with Inghams last March and have to say they were excellent. They won't search your ski bag, just weigh it possibly.
Its a standard disclaimer re the damage liability.
I strongly suggest you purchase a padded ski bag, it makes a big difference, and then read my earlier post about how I pack my ski bag, never had a problem or any damage when flying.
Bubble wrap + outdoor clothing is the key.
Sorry bandit, i was unclear on this one.
I meant as soon as the light goes out after take off and not just as you land.
The idiots that drag everything out of the bags they want during the flight.....why put them up there if you want them in ten mins time?

It's true, they have a fanfare go out over the tannoy when they land on Potato Airways. Then everyone claps. I think it's more to announce that they managed to land it safely rather than being on time!!
I can see my house from here...

This always annoys me, you have to sit around the airport, then in the gate area doing nothing.As soon as passengers get on the plane they then stand in the gangway sorting out their stuff which could have been done in the time before boarding.I carry a separate carrier bag with all my in flight bits & pieces sorted so just bag & coat in locker & sit down, how hard is it? Security's the same they wait till last minute to remove coats, belts, money ect & hold up the line :evil:
Rant over.

"Applicable to all airlines: Please note that each ski bag should only contain one pair of skis/snowboard. Airlines may refuse to accept ski bags containing clothing and ski boots, etc.
Your insurance company may not, and Inghams do not, accept liability for non-delivery or damage to any other items you pack in your ski bag."
My ski bag doesn't have any padding around the bindings so I am also looking for something to protect. Any suggestions greatly received!

Ditto,never seen a ski bag searched just weighed. I first bought an unpdded bag then realised how inappropriate it was so upgraded.
Up there for thinking, down there for skiing...
