Pack them in your case. You're usually allowed 20 kilos and with boots in your case, you can't seriously have more than 20 kilos in your bag?
If so, repack reminding yourself you're going skiing and not to fashion week in Milan.

Don't run the risk of problems at the airport, and the potential stress of worrying whether you'll be allowed them as hand luggage. Pack them in your hold case or check the boot bag in as my mate does - something I'd never do having seen them thrown about and coming off in pieces.

That is why I put my post on to alert people that there are rules in place which may or may not be applied & you're now aware of the problems you may have if ducking & diving.As Tony says put them in your case for hold luggage as I do 8) also be aware that if you have 1 bag for the hold & you put a boot bag or any other in the hold as well you will be charged as your allowance is for one bag only, you cannot split your allowance, buying into an extra bag is the same price as the original but without additional weight.Proberbly best to have the sports equipment package.

Just looked at EJ & they say that skis & ski boots are not in the allowance but can be taken for an additional fee, are there others?

With regard to boots in hand luggage I was saying what was stated by the the flight T&Cs & not what you can get away with, has anyone else heard of the restriction?

I thought some airlines had stopped allowing boots in hand luggage.

I guess it is all a matter of taste, My preference is for Italian and French food which looks much more appertizing as when food arrives your eyes are used first and I did not find that with Austrian food, some of it looked like cat litter with an egg on top :thumbup:

Well only yourself to blame as you ordered it, top tip for your next visit look at the menu before ordering -)

I did not order it some other sucker did :lol:

I had a feeling that would be the case, friend Hmm :( , top tip still stands then 8)
