Is this another 'enhancement' when flying to go skiing to the US? As a SEN (and even when I was FTL), I was never charged before for taking my ski equipment to the US. I saw that the charges are 70 EUR. Is this the charge for the roundtrip or just for the outbound flight?
Is this always charged or just to the discretion of the check-in agent?
