1. Jet2 baggage and ski carriage
Jet2 includes a free 10kg hand luggage bag (56 x 45 x 25cm, including wheels and handles), plus a small under-seat bag. Hold bags are usually 22kg, with a maximum of 32kg per bag.
Skis and snowboards are a separate add-on, called ski carriage, and they don’t count as one of your hold bags. It costs from £35 per flight if you add it online (about £70 return), and Jet2 sometimes runs ski carriage offers, so keep an eye out. You can add it when you book (“Add Sports Equipment”) or later in Manage My Booking.
2. That extra 2kg
The big plus with Jet2 is the 22kg ski allowance, 2kg more than easyJet and Ryanair. That extra space is handy for families, so you can fit boots, a helmet and some ski clothes in with the skis, without paying for excess weight.
Keep each bag within its own limit: there’s no official way to pool the weight of your ski bag and suitcase, and any bag over the limit is charged at £12 per extra kilo at the airport.
3. Ski boots and helmets on Jet2
Ski boots: Jet2 says your boots can go in your ski carriage bag, in your hold luggage, or in your hand luggage, as long as they fit the 56 x 45 x 25cm size. Checking them in as a separate boot bag costs extra.
Helmets: yes, you can take your ski helmet in your hand luggage. Airlines don’t really advertise it, but I’ve travelled with my helmet in my hand luggage for years. The catch: it’s not a free extra item, like a coat. It has to fit inside your 10kg hand luggage (56 x 45 x 25cm) and count towards it. Clip it to the outside of your bag or carry it separately and you can get caught out at the gate and charged. Jet2 also says your helmet can go in your ski carriage bag with your skis, which is often the easiest option.
4. What is Jet2’s sustainability policy?
Flying isn’t the most sustainable way to travel, and the train is better if it works for your family. Jet2 has committed to net zero by 2050, and you can read the Jet2 sustainability policy here. Prefer the train? Here’s my guide to the ski train to La Plagne.
That’s La Plagne and flying Jet2 with ski equipment
With a 22kg ski allowance, room for your boots and helmet in the ski bag, and a decent hand luggage allowance included, Jet2 is a really family-friendly option for a ski trip. Add your ski carriage when you book, and look out for offers.
