Jetstar.com Ski Bag Fees

Jetstar will accept your ski equipment within your baggage weight allowance, but you will be charged an Oversize Item fee of $25 AUD / NZD because your ski bag is longer than 100 cm. The easiest way to pay your "bulky item" fee is by adding it to your booking ahead of time via the "Manage my Booking" option on the Jetstar website.

Keep in mind that your ski bag with skis, poles, and boots will all count toward your total baggage weight allowance, so be sure to check that your ticket includes enough weight allowance, or to purchase enough weight allowance, so that your ski equipment plus any suitcases you are bringing together all fit within your total checked baggage weight allowance - otherwise a steep per KG fee will be charged for excess weight.

When packing your ski bag, keep in mind that no single checked item may weigh more than 32 kg, even if you have purchased a higher total weight allowance. If your ski bag weighs more than 32 kg, you will have to split your skis into 2 separate bags.

If you're travelling with bulky items, make sure you arrive at the airport when check in opens for your flight. All bulky items must be packed appropriately in accordance with the guidelines, before being presented at check-in.
