Swiss International Airlines Ski Bag Fees

SWISS Airlines will accept one set of Ski Equipment free of charge for all passengers, except on Economy Light fares.

Ski Equipment is defined as: 1 pair of skis, 1 pair of poles, 1 pair of boots (even if in separate boot bag), 1 helmet. [AMZ asins='B083176696,B074F945NM,B08512DLZK,B07X3MMRLX']

The first set of ski equipment is brought for free, in addition to your regular free checked baggage allowance, meaning that you can bring both your normal suitcase and ski equipment for free.

If bringing a 2nd set of ski equipment, or if flying in Economy Light and you would like to add a set of ski equipment, it will either be taken in place of a suitcase as part of your baggage allowance, or you will have to pay the "Normal" Sports Equipment fee.
