At the Airport

Airport Security

The UK Department for Transport (DFT) and the European Union (EU) have adopted new security rules since Monday, 6th November 2006, that will allow a restricted amount of liquids with hand baggage through security search points provided specific restrictions can be met.

Check in

RocketSki recommends that you check in at your departure airport at least 3 hours prior to the scheduled departure time of your flight. Please also confirm the airport security instructions on the website of your selected airport as this may be subject to alteration.

Baggage Restrictions

Gatwick Airport Security
Heathrow Airport Security
Luton Airport Security
Manchester Airport Security

It is important to check the current baggage restrictions with the corresponding airline carrier before travelling. It is also important that you arrive at least 3 hours prior to your departure to allow extra time for additional security checks.

Please keep to the limit because excess charges can be high.
The luggage allowance is 20kg per person not including hand luggage, which is limited to 5kg on all our charter flights.
Please note that all airlines reserve the right to send skis and excess baggage on later flights.
Excess baggage will be transferred to resort as soon as possible and RocketSki will provide emergency hire equipment if necessary. The luggage allowance may be pooled but this is subject to individual airline conditions.

Arrangement for carriage of skis/snowboards

There is a charge of £30 per snowboard/set of skis for carriage on all of our AerLingus & Flybe flights. Due to the limited space, if you are taking your own skis/snowboard, it is strongly recommended that carriage is pre-booked to ensure they are placed on the aircraft. The check-in staff at the airport will only check in equipment if a prepaid sticker is attached to your flight ticket. If not, subject to load our Airport Representative will be able to issue stickers and collect payment at the check-in desk.
