Can I take a boot bag on a plane?

A boot bag on its own is subject to normal baggage fees. Ski and boot bags must be less than 50 lbs. to avoid overweight charges. Service charges apply whenever bags are checked and are determined by the airline. Ski equipment in addition to the baggage allowance will be assessed at the excess baggage charge.

TSA's protocols require that passengers remove their shoes so they can be screened through an X-ray machine. This stems from an incident in December 2001 when a terrorist attempted to detonate an explosive device in his shoe while onboard a flight from Europe to the United States.
