What it costs and what fits

- Max weight
- 20 kg
- Max L+W+H
- 189 cm
- Pre-booking
- yes - sporting equipment must be pre-booked at least 24 hours before departure and is subject to available space on the flight
- Small aircraft
- flydubai operates a Boeing 737 narrowbody fleet (no widebody/regional turboprops), but the airline's general checked-bag box limit (75x55x35cm) is far smaller than a kite board bag, which causes confusion - the separate 'sporting equipment' category with its own 160-189cm band is the correct one to book, not standard baggage
- Filed as
- Sporting equipment (dedicated official category, separate from standard checked baggage)

What riders report at the counter
1 report
- The sporting equipment terms sit apart from the standard 75x55x35cm bag limits and are easy to miss — contact flydubai directly to confirm acceptance and fees before booking, since space for oversize sporting equipment is not guaranteed
