Re: Baggage rules for skis

I'm sure they mean that the ski bag is included as your 1 checked bag. The 
linear mumbo jumbo is for other bags. If you want clothes you either hand 
carry a bag or cough up the $25. If they do charge extra for the ski bag 
you're up a creek , because the fuel prices are subtracting seats and 
competition.
