https://www.j2ski.com/ski-chat-forum/posts/list/15.page Latest messages posted in the topic "Delayed Ski Things" My ski stuff - skis, boots, goggles, gloves, hat - never arrived at Sofia airport. Rep from the holiday company said stuff will arrive Monday as the baggage was left in Manchester. <br /> <br /> Monday no skis or equipment, Tuesday rep said I will get the skis Wednesday, finally the equipment was in my room when I got back from town on Thursday <br /> <br /> So two thirds of my holiday was ruined plus four days of lost pre paid ski lift pass. Now I am looking for compensation but from who. <br /> <br /> The airline has offered me $60, I can claim insurance of GBP350, so do I claim this or do i try and claim from the holiday company? https://www.j2ski.com/ski-chat-forum/posts/preList/5431/34069.page https://www.j2ski.com/ski-chat-forum/posts/preList/5431/34069.page Fri, 13 Feb 2009 20:17:09 GMT Check your insurance. <br /> If your gear is delayed for more than 12 hours you are usually covered for hiring skis, boots etc in the resort for each 24hr period that yours hasn't arrived. https://www.j2ski.com/ski-chat-forum/posts/preList/5431/34174.page https://www.j2ski.com/ski-chat-forum/posts/preList/5431/34174.page Sat, 14 Feb 2009 15:36:33 GMT When this sort of thing has happened to people I know on summer and ski trips, they have always hired kit and bought new clobber - and claimed it back on insurance/airline, often on the advice of holiday rep/head office in UK. <br /> <br /> Mark, not trying to be clever but why didn't you do that and enjoy your ski-ing? I feel sorry that your trip was ruined. https://www.j2ski.com/ski-chat-forum/posts/preList/5431/34211.page https://www.j2ski.com/ski-chat-forum/posts/preList/5431/34211.page Sat, 14 Feb 2009 22:18:00 GMT You should have purchased new gear and billed the ski company/insurance company. Too late now. <br /> <br /> Next time get some good insurance with plenty gear cover so you can just replace it all straight off. https://www.j2ski.com/ski-chat-forum/posts/preList/5431/34322.page https://www.j2ski.com/ski-chat-forum/posts/preList/5431/34322.page Sun, 15 Feb 2009 11:38:48 GMT <blockquote> <div> <cite>mark203 wrote:</cite>My ski stuff - skis, boots, goggles, gloves, hat - never arrived at Sofia airport.
