last year I flew with Jet2 to salzburg and had no trouble with the skis or the boots which I took as hand luggage..There is this little box thing by check in and if they fitted in that it was ok
This year I have bought a new double ski bag and am hoping to pack all in there The boots weigh 5 kg and the skis(190s) and bag weigh 10kg...so I have some spare as the allowance is 20kg
What do you put in your ski bag

Your hold luggage allowance is 15 or 20kg according to airline. You then pay a set fee for ski carriage, which allows you ONE SKI OR BOARD BAG onto the flight. I cannot recall there ever being a weight limit on ski bags, but I may be wrong.
Looked on the Jet2 website ..they do stipulate 20kg for the ski bag ...
"Golf Bags and Ski Equipment
Golf bags and ski equipment charges are 22.50GBP/ 33EUR/ 56CHF/ 1125CZK/ 140PLN per flight for each item up to 20kg but you can save £5 by pre-booking online »"

This is an extract from Crystals Ts & Cs:
Carriage of skis, snowboards and boots by air
With a growing number of skiers and snowboarders taking their own equipment on holiday, charter airlines are finding it increasingly difficult to cope with the extra weight and handling of these items. This has increased the risk of luggage being off-loaded from aircraft. In common with all other major winter sports operators, we have therefore introduced a system to improve the reliability of ski/snowboard carriage, at a cost of £30 per pair of skis/snowboard carried (max 6kgs per £15 charge made).
The ski & snowboard bag must contain the pair of skis or snowboard ONLY and weigh no more than 6kgs. Boot bags count towards your overall weight limit on all flights, as do skis on some scheduled flights
If you wish to have skis or snowboards added to your booking, these must be registered at the time of booking and if they should fail to arrive on your flight, the charge will be refunded and skis forwarded to you in resort free of charge. If you do not pre-book your skis, there is no guarantee that they will be carried, but if accepted, a minimum £40 charge will be levied at the check-in desk by appointed Crystal reps. This charge does not apply to scheduled airlines, unless operating as a charter, where ski equipment may be included in the total baggage allowance and additional charges may be levied if this is exceeded.
As I read this, in the first para, the charge is £30 per pair of skis, and this would allow 12kgs. The second para states the ski wght max as 6kgs. :shock: :shock: :shock:
