Before you pack
3 points
- Prior agreement from China Southern's ground-services security department or an agent is required before checking a surfboard/windsurf (and by extension, kite gear) - this is a real prebooking requirement, not optional
- Fee is calculated as an equivalent weight band (5kg or 8kg) rather than a flat fee, so actual cost varies by route/fare's per-kg excess-baggage price - get a quote for your specific route
- Kites/kiteboards are not explicitly named in China Southern's "Surf Gear" category - confirm whether your equipment qualifies for the surf-gear pricing or is treated as generic oversized baggage
