- one suitcase for everything else (clothes).
- in addition either both of us or at least my husband will wear his ski jacket (so we don't need to pack it)
Are you taking any internal flights whilst in the US/Canada? Because of this we are going to have to take a second suitcase (because our ski gear holdall weighs over is over 50lbs - especially now we need to carry all our toiletries in checked baggage too). So at least we can spread the weight a bit AND there will be room for a bit of shopping...

Boo, I will be traveling alone. Just shuttling some ski stuff to Europe so I can ski in Austria without having to rent (which I hate doing). I figure three pairs of skis in Seattle is pretty useless now anyway.
I was actually very pleasantly surprised about the generous allowance, as I had always assumed the skis counted as one piece. I think I will do this:
- one pair of skis with poles
- one pair of boots in seperate bags with as much skiing clothing as possible
- one other bag for everything else
Where do I complain about my 747 being replaced with a very plain-looking 777?
