What it costs and what fits

Fee: EUR 75 (short/medium haul) or EUR 110 (long haul) if beyond allowance;
EUR 150 for oversized sports equipment;
EUR 325 surcharge for any oversized bag over 158cm up to 300cm

Pre-booking: Prior arrangements needed for equipment exceeding dimensional limits; not explicitly mandatory for standard-size boards
Small aircraft: On ATR aircraft (used for some regional/domestic hops), equipment length cannot exceed 180cm regardless of the 200-300cm limits that apply on mainline jets
Filed as: sports/special equipment -- 'Surf, Kitesurf, Bodysurf, Windsurf boards, Longboards' explicitly listed; first piece within weight class allowance counts as part of standard baggage allowance
Home region: Mauritius / Indian Ocean

short/medium-haul EUR 75 per direction
long-haul EUR 110 per direction
oversized (any route) EUR 150 (sports equipment surcharge) or EUR 325 (general oversize surcharge over 158cm)

3 points

Kitesurf boards count as part of the standard baggage allowance if within weight limits -- only pay the surcharge if it's an extra piece
If flying onward on an ATR (e.g., to Rodrigues), confirm the 180cm length cap before packing a full kite quiver bag
Splitting kite gear (bars, harness, wetsuit) across two standard-size bags under 23kg each can avoid special equipment fees altogether

1 report

One traveller packed 4 kites with bags, 2 harnesses, 4 bars, 2 wetsuits and booties into 2 wheely bags, each kept under 158cm and 23kg, and avoided special-equipment fees entirely on a Cape Town to Mauritius trip
