So how come you can buy a mountain of shopping on the other side? There's a huge array of shops at most airports these days, you could buy your entire wardrobe before you got on the plane.

Sadly no ski shops.

...and then have to pay excess baggage allowance to bring it home. How the airlines must laugh!

Pah. As if. Something that stocks decent gear and knows how to fit boots would be better :lol:

Just to say ...

Hand luggage wasn't checked at all. Wasn't asked how many skis in ski box. Either at Manchester or Geneva.

Just make sure hand luggage fits in Manchester Airport size checkers. Staff say the Thompson specific size checkers in terminal 2 aren't used any more.
