Anyone have any experience with these folks? I am planning on going to Vancouver this spring for a week or so, and want to hear of any feedback. Specifically about bringing along ski bags. Anyone know the price to do so, or how they treat them? Cheers, I appreciate any feedback.

Cheap rando airlines are risky with baggage. Check the website. Never heard of them. With ski gear it pays to only book stuff that flies free. The rates some airlines charge are far higher than the savings you get from a cheaper fair.

I usually just fuck around with dates in gflights and try and find a legit airline for a good price. Even emirates tried to charge me $650 for a snowboard bag like 5 years ago.

Not sure about their baggage, but their On-time-performance looks awful:

Get a co-branded card with an airline and that can pay for the bags itself. Not sure where you are flying from, but if you are in North America, Delta, United, and American all have
