During ski season you may want to consider what the various airlines can offer in terms of ski carriage. In previous years British Airways did not charge for ski carriage however this year they have followed the stance taken by many budget airlines and will charge. Expect to pay around fifty eight pounds return for ski carriage charges with BA.

A better option may be Swiss Airlines who will permit each customer to bring a pair of poles, skis and boots for free. The majority of charter flights will also charge for ski carriage.

BmiBaby ran a promotion last month offering free ski carriage for a limited time.

BmiBaby have added eight new routes which means a combined total of twenty four destinations on offer from the airline at East Midlands. It is considered a bold move by Bmibaby considering the downturn airlines have been experiencing in recent times.

The new routes announced include Cork, Venice, Bastia, Dubrovnik, Barcelona, Newquay and Malta. Readers of our car hire Geneva blog will be pleased to hear that Bmibaby will offer flights all year round to Geneva.

Ski travelers will also be pleased to hear the news that this year there will be no extra charges for carrying winter sports gear. Rix confirmed that all snowboards and skis could travel for free. He also pointed out that there were still no card fees when booking.

The news will came as a blow for many in the area who relied on the flight for ski holidays as well as numerous business travelers who will now have to find another airline.

The airline has cited rising passenger duties as the reason however rumours abound that that they have struggled to keep up with rival airline Ryanair. BMI Baby may now end up offering extra flights to Geneva in order to fill the gap left by Easyjet. Officials were quick to confirm that no flights would be affected until early next year.

Easy jet also announced that there would be a twenty percent cut in their Luton Airport services. It remains to be seen exactly what routes this will affect. High airport fees were again cited with the airline now looking for cheaper bases.

Under the conditions of the offer, the flights must be taken between the 15th of September and the 16th of December. If you were planning on visiting Geneva for the ski season then this may be an offer worth considering if you have not booked your flights yet.
