Snowboard Luggage/Bags

[bboytommy]

I really roll the dice, lol, I always just check everything, and I fly standby on top of that, but my flight that I do a few times a year is also a direct flight as well. Did it last week with no issues...

Glad to know I'm not the only one rolling the dice by checking everything. Figured I'd just buy new boots and hit the credit card's delayed/lost baggage policy if needed. But yes, also usually fly direct too.

Yeah, SLC/Spokane is direct on Delta both ways, so is SLC/Boise, those are generally the only winter flights I do.

I hope you're about to roll the dice on a trip to Japan or BC right now....

I've got three coming up, Baldface Jan 4th, Baldface Feb 2nd and then Stellar Heli Feb 22nd... With maybe a quick weekend trip to Brundage with the old homies as well... The basically no cost flying benefit from the wife's job is glorious.

And your USD compared to our Canadian peso now that’s how to travel

Me and the homies did Eagle Pass last week for a steal.

Yeah I can only imagine. I just did the reverse and was down in Arizona for a week it was not a steal.

I bring my ride backpack on the plane, maybe with outerwear and the regular travel stuff, and my boots in a taxfree bag. Then a wheelie gig and maybe duffel depending. Just bought a roller duffel. Overfilled local trains in Jp is always fun with that setup.

Im also going to JP this season for the first time ever.
Thinking board, binding and riding gear in the board bag, regular clothes in hard suitcase, boots and helmet in the carry on and travel essentials in a small backpack.
Probably overthinking it as usual.

Just don't end up hauling everything along through several transfer in the busy hours, like I did the first time and it's fine. Resort buses and Yamatos (black cats) are nice. But yeah, boots as carryon, unless they smell really bad

I dont think much about that trendy luggage company Away, but their take on the boot bag is interesting... well thought out compartments

I've used my mine77 duffel for the overhead bin, but 50% of the time it ends up being too big for the overhead storage area and I feel like an asshole since the flight attendants have to deal with finding somewhere to stuff it. It's 60L, I like being able to take my helmet+boots with me since it's a bit more difficult to find boots versus demoing boards/bindings if shit goes missing.

Anyone have a 40Lish bag they like that consistently fits overhead bins? broad, i know. FWIW, i'm usually on delta flights.

I roll with my Burton Rider Bag, which I think is around 70L. Technically exceeds overhead bin dimensions but I've never had problems as long as I only half fill it with boots and soft goods. I got low key hassled once in Japan, but gate crew let it slide once they realized it had no structure and would conform easily into the space.

I think I did have to wear my helmet onto the plane that time though lol

I guess better than getting stuck wearing boots multiple hours hahah

Dropped in on the Union Board Bag. For sure has more room than my old Burton Bag.
