Flying with Swissair - Ski baggage

I priced a return flight with them, just now, out on 10th March and back on 17th - not that I can actually go of course - :cry: and it was £144 London Heathrow to Geneva economy saver.

I am always impressed at what a fountain of knowledge this forum can be, when we set our minds to it :D

If no-one actually knows the answer to a particular question someone will know how to FIND the answer :lol:

The flight I wanted is now cheaper at 1085fr for the cheapest seat! If I booked a return however it drops to a petite 314fr. Mind you some airlines charge extra if you are a no-show for a return flight )

Bandit - why is the return so much cheaper :?:

Have recently put together an article comparing a number of airlines for the baggage they charge on a European return flight, including both standard baggage and ski/snowboard charges.

Perhaps no surprises that Ryanair topped the table as most expensive. Swiss Air was one of a few Airlines that have no charges at all for either normal or ski baggage.

Just starting out with my website trying to help make skiing more affordable so please come and check it out or follow budgetslopes on twitter

They will never get my custom ...... that Irish lot is owned by the Irish lot :evil:

I hadnt included Aer Lingus on my comparison mentioned above. I don't think they fly from UK to ski destinations. They do from Dublin and for these flights the cost of baggage on a return flight would be €90

2 x €15 for hold baggage
2 x €30 for ski baggage

For reference that's alot less than Ryanair £150, and a little more than Easyjet £74
