British Airways will accept your ski equipment free of charge as long as it is within your free checked baggage allowance. If your ski equipment is in addition to your free checked luggage, or you have purchased a no-baggage fare, the standard checked luggage fee (same as for a normal suitcase) will apply.

Your ski bag is limited in length of up to 190cm (75in). [AMZ asins='B083176696,B074F945NM,B08512DLZK,B07X3MMRLX']

If your ski bag weighs more than 23 kg / 50 lbs, a heavy bag fee of 65 GBP / 75 EUR / 100 USD / 100 CAD will be charged.

Please ensure that you:
Pack your skis and snowboards in a recognised ski or snowboard bag
Pack your ski poles with your skis
Pack your boots together your skis or snowboard

If you pack your boots separately from your skis, you can take them into the cabin if within your carry-on allowance, otherwise they will be checked in as a separate bag and incur an additional extra bag charge.

You do not need to notify British Airways that you are flying with skis or snowsports equipment, but you should arrive early to drop off your skis at the oversize/out-of-gauge baggage belt at least 90 minutes before your flight.
