Surf Travel - Surf Board Travel Bags - Baggage Limits on Airlines

So you have a lot and took a flight to the destination surf. If you pack your skate bag with your two favorite cards, you may be unpleasantly surprised. In the world of surf trip, not all airlines are treated the same as your surfboard. They act as airlines stack up? Many of them, not so well.

Let's start with the worst. A major U.S. air carrier charged between $ 175 and $ 250 per trip for the surfboard bag. To fly with this airlinewith your table, you will pay between $ 350 and $ 500 round trip just for your surfboard. You can buy a surfboard for $ 500 new or used surfboard for even less. Maybe you could buy the money on a surfboard when you land and there was a local child when you leave. In essence, you should give money to a child instead of a local business trying to do it for you just stick to travel with your surfboard. If you come home, all your surfboardstill be left as they made their money and will not be more than if you had your own table with you. This is a way to make a good from a bad position.

Now for the bad. Unfortunately, most other major airlines around the world fall into this category. It is common practice for airlines to keep the bag at the table and the excess charge high fee for the luggage in a surfboard bag. You can expect to pay about $ 100 each way with the mostair travel with your surfboard. If you plan to travel with your surfboard, I can not recommend it enough to check the airlines policy on surfboard bags before booking a flight. Many airlines have baggage restrictions at certain times of the year and may not be able to bring your carrier for surfboard on any price.

In today's world of high jet fuel prices, it seems that airlines are competing tooth and nail for the price and then tryOn it with all the "extras." Well, here's the good news. Several airlines want business travelers surf. A handful of airlines offer free travel bag for your surfing. Quantas Airlines has been "excellent Surfer Magazine" Airline of the Year Award. One of the factors in their decision was because Qantas do not charge for travel bags surfboard. In addition, Virgin Atlantic also offer free surf travel bag.

It 's interesting to note that in November2007 British Airways has decided to accept no more surfboards on its flights. This has caused a sensation for many travelers, and also made their way into the debate in the British Parliament. In September 2009, thanks to a campaign on Facebook, British Air, finally reversed its decision. They now allow surfboards 6'3 (190cm). But for many surfers it means, unfortunately, longboard, minimal (Funboard) are not allowed.

If you are under your surfboard on your nextFlight, I suggest you take the time, e-mail all the airlines that you selected, you need not fly because the rules of luggage bags and taxes on their surfboard to travel. Let them know that they have lost work. The campaign on Facebook is an example of how consumer pressure makes a difference. While you're there, leave the airline, what do you think of its policies on the fees surfboard travel bag.
