Ski trip shipping

Skip the ski bag fee. And the airport.

Your skis, boots, and duffel picked up from your door on Friday. Waiting at your Aspen or Vail bell desk Sunday morning. Usually less than an oversized ski bag on Delta. Zero shuttle-bus wrestling.

Airline fees, decoded

The checked bag math has changed

In April 2026, every major US airline raised checked bag fees. A $45 bag is really a $295 bag.

For a family of 4 going skiing:

  • Airline bag fees alone: $860-1,160 for the trip
  • Airport buffer for oversized bags: +3 hours per direction
  • Lost bag rate: 5.6 bags per 1,000 checked passengers
  • Baggage claim wait: 15-45 minutes at your destination

With Waylighter:

  • All-in price: $1,162 same trip in peak season, all fees included
  • Skip the check-in line — arrive at the airport with just carry-ons
  • Bags arrive before you do, ready at your hotel or condo
  • Full insurance and real-time tracking — every bag, every leg

Same price ballpark. Zero baggage stress.

Your airline

  • Checked bag fee$45–50
  • Oversized surcharge+$200
  • Overweight surcharge+$100
  • Arrive3 hours early
  • Lost bag risk0.56%
