We're also flying out on the 27th. But seems as though it's a different flight number. £79.75 all in with checking one 15kg bag in. How are you taking markers and air bottles then?
apparently you have to book them in as sports equipment (seperate option when booking flight) costs 50quid but i think its like 50kilo weight limit and any size, so no need for other luggage, use the bottom half of the navigator for party clothes and the rest for balling gear :D

It cost me 8 quid calling Ryan Air to find out about tanks and markers! (premium rate line). So hopefully I can save some people the trouble of calling them.
Basically, the unhelpful woman at the other end of the line said that "so long as there are no pressurized items [in your 'sports bag'], you shouldn't have a problem" with regards to air bottles. I also checked out markers with her and she didn't really know the answer to that one, but said that so long as it's not a firearm (which according to the UKPSF it's not) it'll be kosher.

I think Dave is right in saying that the best way about this if you're flying Ryan Air will be to Check in at the airport, but with no luggage and sacrifice the £50 so that you can take a sports bag and get the extra weight.

Dave also suggested including a paintball magazine in the bag so that anyone who may open it will hopefully realize that it's a non-lethal sporting good!


Edit. If you haven't booked your flights, book REAL soon, because the price has gone up in the last couple of days.

this sports bag deal with ryanair sounds good. How would i go about booking it though? iv already got my ticket. And would you have to tell the woman at the check in counter that its a sports bag?

How much is this costing everyone (in £££ not Euro's) including entry, paint, flghts, accomodation etc.

As a rough idea

Cheers, Niall :)
the summer camp it's self is about £80 for the two days, the flights are costing us £83, as for transport over there, there's 9-10 of us going so were hiring 2 cars, that works out at about £34 ish quid per person for the 3-4 days were going to be there, i can't remember how much the diggs are costing us, but i dont think it's all that much, Kat did say but i've forgotten :eek:

hope this helps mate :)

I`m not sure, i guess it would be best to ring them and check. cos if you`re just 15kilos overweight that will be 180quid excess charge! :eek:

if (like us) you`ve just booked sports bag, no normal luggage, they will know that when you give them your name/reference etc at check in.

By my incredibly rough estimations.

flight + sports bag = £120
Summercamp = £80
Car hire split /3 + Petrol = £50
Paint costs = £100
Food Drink allowance = £50

So i worked out it would cost me around £400, but i'd have too pay another £80 for taxi too and from airport in UK. so bit more expensive than i originally thought, gotta think wether i can afford it now :( especially with CC paintbill coming in soon.
