Attention - Skiers Who Are Travelling By Plane

Posted at December 11, 2009

Although it is not something that is publicized, or in many cases, even disclosed until there is a problem, you should know that damage to ski equipment is not the responsibility of the airlines. You would think that, like any other luggage, this would be covered for loss or damage. It is not, and especially now because of the additional fees pouring in from luggage, nobody will make it a point to tell you that. By the way, golf clubs fall into the same category…..your problem.

My suggestion; pick up a reasonable travel insurance policy to cover you in the event of damage in flight or arrival. They cost a fraction of the price of the equipment and will give you peace of mind that far outweighs the small fee.

Don’t learn the hard way like I did.

Here is the company I recommend.
