Jan Stenmark has great solution, which was posted !
Wear them ! Yes wear them on plane!!! Just get some slippers which you can put on once on plane!
No regulations about NOT wearing ski boots on! He did it!
I tested his solution going to Utah and guess what! Sure you get stares...Sure you get "what the...." but it works. Once on plane I just took out some thin, light fur lined CROCs and smiled!!!!

This solution would likely result in the passenger being denied boarding by security, if travelling through an airport which has the ban in place. There is no logic being applied to the current crop of restrictions, and it seems to change on a weekly basis, as travellers report in after flying. I have read elsewhere of skiers getting through with touring boots on their feet, but not this winter.
Maybe a little late, but don't buy gear to take if you can shop there.

anyone know the rules for gatwick and chambery airports?
I think Chambery is going to be a no-no, read about a refusal at check in recently, can't remember where though. As for Gatwick, I think their rules are set by which way the wind is blowing :lol:

I`ve never seen anyone allowed to take boot bags in the aircraft,But regarding my kids helmets we pack them in the middle of the ski bag with all the ski gear packed around them.I`ve also done the same thing with my boots years ago,It saves waiting around for one less bag as well.

Flew to and from Austria from Bournemouth with Austrian Airlines and they didn't bat an eyelid with boots as hand luggage.
Same with Flybe from Southampton to and from Bern-Belp.
