Hi OzBarginers -
I'm due to fly in the coming months, where I'm going to go snowboarding for the weekend. Jetstar charges $25/each way to check in skis/snowboards on top of checked luggage costs - so I figured I'd just rent a board when I get there.
For my clothes and other gear on the other hand - rather than spend the money on luggage, I figured I could get onto the plane wearing all of my snow gear (helmet, gloves and goggles excluded) and carry on only my 'regular' clothes I'd wear for the weekend to get it under 7kg carry on.
Has anyone done this before - worn an excessive amount of clothes onto to the plane to save on luggage costs? If so, how'd it work out for you?
Thanks!
what is the cost of checked luggage?
for my own convenience, comfort and sanity I would just buy the damn luggage.
