Luck y you

I want to Pamporovo last year my ski things went to Germany

Don't worry the rep kept telling use we will have your skis things tomorrow and that is what they told me for 4 days. So I did not buy or rent replacement after all my luggage has to be missing for 24 hours and if I rent/buy the insurance company would pay out I think it was £50 per 24 hours.

On the 5 day the luggage arrived in the afternoon

ON my return claimed insurance, oh no said the insurance company you did not hire or buy replacements, so claimed from the travel company, oh no they said, you can not have compensation for your ruined ski holiday, you did not claim within 28 days

:(

At least you got some nice new gear
You can show us how nice your boots are next weekend!!!


It is really quite unbelievable but the new boots have actually made a positive difference to my skiing. The other thing is that in my case was my knee support, without it my knee swells up after an hours skiing. Maybe it's the expertly fitted boots or all the exercises I did on my step machine, but I had no knee problems at all for the whole week!

Anyway...Yes I will be showing off my new boots next weekend, I love them...And funnily enough my hubby loves them too and he has not complained about the money spent on them at all!!! :wink:

Wow I'm sorry to hear that, but there is no way I would have sat around not skiing for four days, in fact I wouldn't have missed a day. I arrived in resort at 1.30pm, had something to eat and found out where there was a good boot fitter...Got the bus to the next village and had new boots by 6.30pm. :D

Yes, I know, but it was all my ski stuff, from hat to skis. I looked at buying and renting but it meant spending over a hundred pounds on tings like gloves and goggles plus renting boots and skis.

Plus you kind of believe your rep

You may not be allowed to take ski boot on as hand luggage, i have been in a situation when I had to go back and send my hand luggage into the boot.

A few years ago while coming home with a gf she took her high heeled shoes off and was told she could not carry her shoes on board the plane and had to either send them to the hold or put them on
