Not Ryanair apparently.

Healthy discussion is encouraged. 'OLeary is a twat so I won't fly Ryanair' comments are not. Neither is 'that's why I drive to the alps' for that matter.

I hope not, managed to squeeze 2 sets of skis and poles into the ski bag, only paid for 1 lot of ski carriage each way so the wife may have to hire in resort, lol :lol:

that's good news, last time we went i paid for 2 lots of ski carriage but only took the one bag with both in and they didn't check, although they do get weighed when they'reput on the belt at check-in. Nothing was said so I thought i'd try and save myself 30quid )

Funny you should say that as I complained about the price they told me the weight restriction. I even said my bag would nearly weigh that without the skis and the answer I got was "it will be ok" :roll:

Theres 1 lad taking 2 sets of skis in the 1 bag. :shock:
