2 pence flights were from Ryanair, they were doing a 'ski seat giveaway' - I posted a thread on it a couple weeks back. The offer has expired now though, but keep your eyes open.

The baggage was £30 per suitcase to check in a return flight. £60 to take your ski equipment on a return flight.

Haven't booked those as of yet, but can be added on at a later date :)

So its £90.02 for the return flight?

Yeah, £90.02 - But the initial flights themselves - 2 pence. The baggage is a cost everyone has to pay regardless :) It's expected

I don't think it is.. Considering Easyjet and the like are charging £50 return for ski requipment and £20 or so for baggage.
Good in terms to budget airline to be honest - We're talking about taking a bag, skis, boots and flights for 1 week @ £90.02?

Decent in my opinion :)

It is a good deal considering most people rent gear so it is only £30 return each. Con? Nah, deal!

£90.02 per person*
Although for those not taking their own skis (which the other two booked aren't taking their own) it's working out at what, £40.02?
Still, ski hire is ontop of that and of course, might even cost more on the overall cost of the holiday for them.

But hey either way, I'm happy with it :P

£40.02 for those without skis, yeah thats good. I just dont like Ryanairs baggage restrictions and ski carriage charges.
BTW, Easyjet charge £16.50 each way ski carriage.

For the record, you can fly BA to many ski hub airports for under £100 return, and they include 23kg of luggage and FREE ski carriage. Plus you get a far far better standard of service. Not sure about from Glasgow to be fair.

Anyway, enjoy.
