Special baggage rules

Sports gear, instruments and baby equipment often have their own rules. Always check the airline before booking.

Golf equipment

Most airlines accept golf bags as checked baggage. Typical limits are around 23 kg. Wrap clubs well and remove loose accessories.

Skis, boots and poles usually fly in a ski bag. Some airlines count one ski bag + one boot bag as one piece. Check exact dimensions.

Longboards often exceed standard length limits and require special sports equipment booking. Fees vary heavily.

Bikes must be packed in a protective box or bag, tires partially deflated. Many airlines charge a fixed sports fee.

One collapsible stroller and one car seat are usually free. Gate-check is common. Check weight and folding size.

Small instruments may count as hand luggage if they fit. Larger ones should be in a hard case as checked or cabin seat baggage.

Lightweight, durable and sized to fit standard airline sizers.

Weigh your bags at home before you get to the airport.
