On the laundrette - going on holiday to NOT have to do housework ;-)

AND on the HERE WE GO AGAIN - HOLD ON!

@Snowb4ndit: apparently - rumour - speculation - the grapevine - you will get stopped at security - on either end - scared you might take over the plane wielding a Ski Boot! or something. ;-)

You must know her really well 8)

It hasn't happened yet...I always make a point of telling them at check in. If they object I'll just swap them with something in my suitcase. I will do anything to keep my boots with me, losing them would be a disaster (they've had so much work done on them to fit my dodgy shaped feet)I couldn't replace them quickly.

Waits for the "I wear my boots on the plane" reply....

I've heard about this practice but am yet to witness anyone doing it! lol

I always put my boots in with luggage and have never been over the weight allowance ( and I'm a girl)
I also pad out my skis to protect them with ski socks and stuff easily replaced if the bag arrives later than I do!

Because some of my flights to France have a 15kgm max, I evolved a method to achieve this.

Firstly don't use a hard case, they weigh up to 4kms. I use a rucsac, boots at the bottom. My OH uses a large holdall, boots inside.

Secondly, write a packing list, store it on your computer. When you come back, call up the list, and delete anything you didn't wear.

4 polo shirts does me for skiing, for any length of time. Wash them every 2 days, along with socks and smalls. Do the lot in 5 min.

I only take one pair of trousers, and wear them for travel.

Understand the weight of everything, and put heavy items into the hand baggage.

When I first suggested a packing list, Pablo came back at me ~ "that is wrong on sooo many levels, I am a teenager!"

I have to admit thats the work of a genius.
