Before you pack
2 points
- Pre-purchase the R285 sports equipment slot online to help guarantee hold space, since space is first-come first-served
- Keep total weight under 32kg or risk the board being bumped to cargo on a later flight
What riders report at the counter
1 report
- How much surfboard and kite gear goes on the flight depends on cargo hold space, so a place is not guaranteed even when the fee is paid
