Before you pack
2 points
- Add the sports-equipment item on voeazul.com.br or the app before departure day; travelers report it is not clearly offered at ticket purchase and gets flagged only at check-in.
- On ATR-operated regional routes, verify board length against the 275cm limit, shorter than the normal 320cm.
What riders report at the counter
3 reports
- One passenger was charged R$150 for a surfboard on an Ilheus-Fortaleza flight and found out only at check-in — staff pointed to fine print in the baggage contract that was never surfaced at ticket purchase.
- Another rider paid R$300 total for a round-trip surfboard fee, again sprung at check-in rather than flagged during booking.
- Multiple complainants recommend buying the special-baggage add-on on Azul's website/app in advance to avoid the counter surprise.
