Before you pack

2 points

  1. Fins must be removed and bagged separately for surfboards/wakeboards
  2. Confirm whether a kiteboard/twin-tip would be charged at the lower USD 100 general-sports rate or the USD 150 surfboard/windsurf rate - not explicitly stated for kites

What riders report at the counter

1 report

  • Korean Air's published surfboard fee data is dated — a 2016-vintage page is still the one that surfaces — so confirm the current USD 150 figure directly with Korean Air before travel
