The luggage allowance per person (which is included in your ticket price) is 1 HOLD ITEM and 1 small piece of HAND LUGGAGE.
HOLD ITEMS are defined as any item that will WILL NOT FIT into the overhead rack of a bus (which are much smaller than on airplanes!)
Suitcase, holdall, large ruck sack etc | Ski box/bag / Snowboard bag | Boot-bag | Pushchair | Small airline-style ‘Wheelie Bags’
Hopefully the following examples will help explain this:
- 1 person : 1 suitcase + 1 ski bag = 2 HOLD ITEMS => Please pay for 1 extra item
- 2 people : 2 suitcases + 2 boot-bags + 2 sets of skis (but in 1 bag) = 5 HOLD ITEMS => Please pay for 3 extra items
- 4 people : 3 suitcases + 1 Snowboard bag = 4 HOLD ITEMS => This is within your luggage allowance included in your ticket price
HAND LUGGAGE is defined as anything that fits into the overhead rack of a bus (which are much smaller than on airplanes!) So small rucksacks, handbags etc. Small airline-style ‘Wheelie Bags’ WILL NOT FIT into these racks and so they count as hold items.
You can buy additional hold items when you book, or you can log in later and purchase them.
Extra luggage you have purchased will appear in the “Price Breakdown” box of your eticket email.

FEES FOR PURCHASING EXTRA BAGS
Our prices for purchasing extra Hold Items are between £3-4 per item per journey, depending on which route you are booked on.
We need to charge for ski carriage because our buses have limited space. We monitor how many extra bags have been booked on by our customers and reduce the number of seats we sell on a bus accordingly. Obviously we therefore lose sales as we can’t sell as many seats, which is why we need to charge for the carriage of extra bags.
