So, you're planning a ski trip, huh? Awesome! You know what's not awesome? Realizing you've got the wrong gear or, worse, your gear's been held hostage by the airline. Let's chat about Sun Country's ski bag policy, yeah?
First Things First: The Bag Itself
Sun Country's got a pretty straightforward policy here. Your ski bag can't be heavier than 50 pounds, and it can't be bigger than 62 linear inches. That's like, what, two of you rolled into one? I kid, I kid.
Now, if you're thinking, "But I've got so many skis and boots!" Don't worry, you can bring two pairs of skis or one pair of skis and one snowboard per bag. And hey, if you've got a bunch of little ones coming with you, they can each bring their own bag too, as long as it's under the weight and size limit.
