The ever spinning roulette wheel that is the airlines
attitude to the additional baggage required by skiers stops this year on the instruction which
says that you are recommended to pack your ski boots inside your normal
luggage and pay an extra bag charge for skis. So I pay up £136 in extra charges
to British Airways for the two of us. Ouch.
The other option is to take our ski boots as hand luggage. This
is apparently allowed and incurs no charges whereas if we were to put that bag
in the hold, which surely would be better for everyone, it would cost us
another £136. Makes sense...
However we play the game we will take the same
anyway, it’s just how we distribute it to avoid paying them less.
I head home for lunch where L is tempting me with a just banned bacon sandwich.
I get home and take the dogs on park, which is their last
romp of freedom before they are then dumped in kennels. Once that’s been done,
then we’re off to a seedy London hotel for the night, before flying to the Pyrenees
on Friday.
