Grenoble Airport

Hi, Tony H

Checked with Hubby and he said our ski's were checked in, at a different desk to our luggage.

All the checking desks are in a line, the ski check in desk was nearest the entrance.

Our checking at Grenoble was a bit of a blurr as we were in a huge trafic jam getting to the airport and were thinking we would miss the flight. Luckly we didnt and we started to relax once we got rid of the luggage and started to go through passport control.

Skisuit

Should have added, do not even think about ski boots or helmets in hand luggage, even if it was OK on the way out they don't like it at Grenoble :evil:

There is a separate queue, for Ski's we could not check them in until we had checked our normal bags, might be worth a doubel check when you get there

Trains are what you want, no check in, no baggage supplements and they cant fly.

Clearly it is.


Tony. I distinctly remember you gloating at my misfortune at having to use Grenoble last March. And now you want reassurance?!

That was when I was using Turin instead. I dont want reassurance, I just want to know where to find my bloody skis!!!

Tony, your ski's are in the room on the right hand side as you come in your front door.. :)

I think that is pretty much standard at most airports I have been to 8)

Sounds like a very short runway 8)

Had a similar experience in Malta many years ago, the plane came down flat and bumped along the runway several times all because it was a very short runway :shock:

Tony,

Have flown into Grenoble a couple of times recently and the baggage procedure was different on both occasions, but both similarly chaotic. I know its too late but it is a place to be avoided if at all possible.

Packages flying there are cheaper due to the lower costs of airport service charges and navigational service charges.

Think Ryanair destination airport ie Hamburg Lubeck, trying to handle Stansted passenger volume :shock:

Good Luck :D
