BAGGAGE 

If you are on a SnowSkool flight, the standard baggage allowance is two pieces of checked luggage: 

One suitcase (or large bag)

The weight of each bag:

Suitcase (or large bag) must not exceed 20kg for the free allowance to apply
Snowboard / ski bag OR boot bag must not exceed 12kg for the free allowance to apply
Hand luggage entitlement is one piece and must not exceed the dimensions 56 x 45 x 25cm

Please note that taking a separate ski bag and boot bag will be considered as two additional pieces of baggage. SnowSkool recommend that students use the larger style snowboard bags which enable you to transport both skis and boots in the same bag.  
 
If your baggage exceeds the weight restrictions noted above, you will be subjected to additional charges/ refusal of carriage.


MONEY/ BANKING

We STRONGLY recommend that every student takes a credit card with them. In the past students have gone out to resort with cards that either don’t work abroad or have been stopped for one reason or another and have been stuck not being able to buy equipment or fund their first week in resort.

If using a debit card, please check with your bank that it will work in your destination country and inform them that you are going to be there so that your card is not stopped for perceived possible fraudulent activity.

Make a note of the numbers on your credit/debit cards and the phone numbers to report a loss. It is also a good idea to inform someone you trust at home of these numbers.

We also recommend that students take a small amount of cash. This can be useful for paying for drinks, food or any items they might want to buy over the first few days which can be very busy.
