BA used to fly into Innsbruck from Gatwick. You will be aware that Stansted is not served by scheduled airlines, only the budgets and charters (with maybe the odd exception here and there).

If you want scheduled, you have to use London, Bham or Manchester.

Easyjet bought all BAs routes into Innsbruck last year, which is why you are left with no choice. You could of course have booked direct with TCX or FCA, whoever is flying out of STN this season.....


Or you could have flown to Salzburg, or taken BA to Munich.....

I always used to take boots as hand luggage in europe, but checked boots as second bag for Canada last year. Flying Ski peak to Grenoble on their charter flight this weekend, they said OK to fly boots as hand luggage - but may check this again :?:

Welcome to J2ski :D Suggest you make enquiries urgently as Grenoble was one of the airports which had signs up saying boots were banned in hand luggage.

Maybe you arent fussy about where you sit, Ise, but I am, and I know a lot of other people who are - which is proven by the so called scrum you mentioned.


no I'm not fussy, on the plane is perfectly good enough

Same at Chambery - boots as hand luggage area no-go (and Bristol to).

Just got back from the shed Grenoble and boots and helmets are not allowed as hand luggage on your journey home. They kept putting tannoy messages out about it.
