I saw them actually make someone open a ski bag at the Southwest at PHL the one trip to see if there was anything besides skis in it, and it sounded like they were making them pay a steep up charge 1 Quote

Yeah, I’ve flown them twice with skis and never had a problem, but I have read stories online that others have. I usually pack a pair of my ski pants and some shirts and stuff around the skis to help protect them in the soft bag, especially since there’s mine and Pops in there. The one time the did ask me “Nothing but skis and poles in there?” And I said just some T-shirt’s around the skis to keep them from banging each other and got a “Oh, that’s okay.” I suspect the person we saw being hassled was either being an a-hole to the gate agent or more likely the bag was overweight so that opened the can of worms. 3 Quote

I place all of my pants,jackets/base layers/ .. etc. Maybe depends on the airline.. I usually fly United and sometimes Delta 1 Quote
momskeeztoo Posted January 31, 2022 Report Posted January 31, 2022 I am actually partial to Southwest. Free bags, and I kind of like the way they do seating. I haven’t flown since February 2020. Flew American, because that’s what was included in the ski club trip. Clusterf@ck. Quote
enjoralas Posted January 31, 2022 Report Posted January 31, 2022 Southwest and American are my picks. I had AA’s credit card so that comes with a few perks like 1 free bag and a decent boarding slot. I’ve flown them enough to be familiar with their policies and procedures so it’s usually a pretty smooth time. 1 Quote
toast21602 Posted January 31, 2022 Report Posted January 31, 2022 Never had an issue with any airline and ski bags. Domestic or international. Usually keeping it under weight and not being a dick are enough to keep any attention off of you. 4 Quote

Boot bag has unessential clothing and keep them both under the 50lb limit. Because I carry on boots, once a counter person mentioned mine was a very light boot bag and asked if I actually had any boots in there. What does it matter lady? They're both under 50lbs, regardless of what's in them. Edited January 31, 2022 by indiggio 1 Quote

They're both under 50lbs, regardless of what's in them. Just keep in mind that on United at least, the ski bag and boot bag are considered to be one item and must be under 50lb limit combined. I’m allowed 70lb bags and I couldn’t be happier as two pairs of skis plus the weight of my ski bag is like 49.5lbs and I’ve had a few rogue scales say it’s 50.5lb which has resulted in me removing one of my towels that I use to wrap the tips, or just a “repositioning” on the scale at the request of the agent “look it’s under 50 now”. 2 Quote

It started around the time the report is posted so website says 0” new but could be a few inches when they open. Not a pow day but some fresh will be nice. 6 1 Quote
