Sporting Equipment

As long as your sporting equipment fits within the dimensions and weight limit of your checked baggage, you don't have to worry about anything. Otherwise, you'll need to purchase additional luggage before your trip. Remember that you will need to pay for extra baggage for all flights (unless you are flying direct) and for return tickets.

Some sports equipment, such as surfboards and surf skis, may not be able to be carried as checked baggage due to weight limits and larger dimensions and will need to be sent as cargo. In this case, the airline will charge you a shipping fee.

All items must be properly and securely packed to prevent damage to them or other cargo.
