Flying to Whistler from US and Air Canada's rules
The Air Canada web site says:
"A set consists of one snowboard and one pair of boots. This set is considered as one piece of checked baggage and no other item(s) can be carried in the package ." I pack clothes in my padded, wheeled board bag. That's not allowed? Tools are not allowed in the board bag? "The snowboard must be packaged in a rigid and/or hardshell container specifically designed for shipping. If otherwise packaged, the item will only be accepted with a limited release form (to be signed at check-in), releasing Air Canada of liability." I have a padded, wheeled bag that I've used on US airlines. Will that be accepted without a liability waiver? Does anyone know what the limited liability release form is? Dean |

Dean I signed the LLR form when I flew with my snowboard. It's to keep them from being liable of your snowboard is damaged. They are not liable for accidental damage and even with normal baggage, if the luggage gets ripped or torn, it is considered normal wear since the baggage is supposed to take that kind of wear and damage. It's just part of it's job, to protect the contents and keep them from getting out. A soft snowboard bag is more prone to damage than a rigid bag. They have to cover their butts. They'll hand carry the bag to the plane and load it but that doesn't mean it can't get damaged in flight. If you don't think your board will survive, you should get a hard snowboard bag. In answer to your questions, you can pack your clothes, etc. with your board. I called and asked and the lady said she didn't see it as a problem. I flew Delta. One person mentioned that if you do pack your snowboard clothes with your snowboard and they lose your snowboard, you won't have a board or clothes. You can always rent a board, but buying clothes at the mountain is expensive. And to your second question, you will have to sign the liability waiver. -Bruce |

If you are not happy with the service, change airlines. That pretty much
means you have sighed a waiver saying that their employees can steal your s#!t and they won't do anything about it. |

Tiburon... don't talk about something you have no clue about.... I work for a airline out here in Canada and the llrf's mean that we are not responsible for how you have packed your item and if it is damaged we do not cover the damage, however we still are responisble for loss of the item. If it is in a soft sided case then it is not packed properly as a fragile item and a llrf will need to be signed. Your snowboard should be fine... if you cant break it doing what you do on the mountain I dont see how it is going ot break flying. Never heard of a snowboard breaking on our airline... Dave |
