Do not fly Virgin America if you are checking in a ski/snowboard bag as their policy doesn't make sense. Fly Delta or United instead. Like most other airlines including Delta and United, Virgin's policy is that ski/snowboard bags count under the regular checked bag policy and should be charged the normal fee for a checked bag. So far so good EXCEPT unlike Delta and United, Virgin still charges oversize fees (extra $25) for any ski/snowboard bags over 62 inches long. This oversize fee doesn't make sense since nearly all ski/snowboard bags are over 62 inches long! United and Delta do NOT charge oversize fees for ski/snowboard bags, so I recommend you fly with them if you are traveling with skis or a snowboard. I would never have flown Virgin if I had known that they would charge me an oversize fee.
