 Poster: A snowHead
|
Booked with Monarch for a flight to Turin in Jan and I've paid for ski carriage. There's a weight limit of 20kg which is fine but I'm planning on taking two pairs plus bits and pieces in a double bag. Monarch were a bit vague when I asked about what was or wasn't allowed. I'm hoping they're a bit like Lufthansa who are pretty laid back so long as the weight's okay.
Does anyone have any experience with Monarch and ski carriage?

You can take 2 pairs of skis in 1 bag so long as they do not go over the weight of 20kg. My skis + bindings weigh about 8-9kg so you should be good putting 2 pairs in there.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

@Splinkio, Thanks for that. Two pairs of skis and a bit of 'padding' it is then .

@esaw1, yep, as above. Did exactly this last season, no issues as long as the bag isn't overweight. In fact in Turin, they didn't even bother to weigh it.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

I've always payed for 1 piece of standard hold luggage with other companies BA, Jet2, Sleazyjet ect and packed all my clothes plus skis into it (staying below the weight limit ofc) and never had a problem, should I be ok doing the same on Monarch?

Will you be able to get a refund given the company folding?

@Klammertime, as always 'it depends'. For Monarch, ATOL only covers package holidays not flight only, as they withdrew from the flight-only protection scheme last year.
If you booked on a credit card then you're will be ok as you can claim back provided that the cost of the flight was £100.
If you booked using a debit card there is a scheme called Chargeback, but it's not legally binding so you could his issues.
