My wife and I are looking at a trip to Italy in February. One of our major problems involves getting skis there. Apparently, most domestic airlines let you count one set of ski equipment (boot bag and ski bag) as 1 piece of checked baggage (some appear to let it be an additional set, on top of the normal 2 bags). European airlines (Alitalia and Lufthansa, particularly) have some odd "peice concept" rating that makes little sense. Lufthansa, for example, says that skis will be charged 33% of the normal tariff, but they don't ever actually say what the normal tariff is. Odd.
So, it boils down to this question- one ski bag or two? On domestics, it seems like 2 is the way to go. Anyone with experience getting skis to Europe? Should we get a double bag and pay one fee, or two bags and pay seperately?
My brain hurts...
