I've flown countless times, including on United, with skis. If you can't find this info anywhere I'd suggest you call the airline just to clarify. |

Skis and golf clubs are exempted from United's baggage size restriction. One ski bag or golf bag counts as one piece of checked luggage, and you won't be charged extra. -- terry morse Palo Alto, CA http://www.terrymorse.com/ski/ |

Why don't you just bring your boots and rent skis. |

Why don't you just bring your boots and rent skis. Nothing worse than lugging your skis through airports.... Last time I did that, CO lost my skis on a non-stop flight Denver to Durango (Telluride...) The skis finally showed up as I was checking out of the hotel. I got the pleasure of lugging without the pleasure of skiing. Now, I do exactly as the man says... Bring my boots, rent my skis.... |
