Ski Boot Bags

Thank you, Tony. Decent travel insurance permits you to buy or hire the necessities to enjoy your holiday and survive until the bag turns up.

As we are in danger of Tony_H having heart failure over this subject I'll let it rest, no wiser on the trials and tribulations of flying EasyJet - if only they were that Easy. I 'll probably run the risk with my £7.99 JJB sports rucksack with a bit of duck tape wrapped around. Looking forward to 2013 already when we can raise this subject once more - bon ski !

Crikey, I hadn't realised something so simple could get so complicated.

I bought my bag in 1983, it's still going strong, never had a spot of bother with it on any flight.

The '80's luminous pink writing matched my luminous yellow & pink socks of the era (remember those?) ahhhh... The bag's outlasted the socks by a good 28 years!

pardon?

at bhx earlier this year flying with thompson and a lad was overweight for his checked luggage. he took out his ski boots - bag now underweight so checked in ok and he walked through the security checks carrying a ski boot in each hand and still got on the plane with them in his hands!!
Rules or no rules?
i always put my boots in my checked bag and cram a lot into my rucksack i use for hand luggage. and if my case goes missing all my ski clothing is with the boots any way.

I bought a ski bag with a compartment for boots about a decade ago, I'd never go back to a separate boot bag.
