Surfboard checking fee
 

Is there a fee for checking a surfboard while nonreving? When I was a teenager I got charged an arm and a leg so I’ve avoided it since then but I was hoping the rules have changed. Tag-along question, how about snowboards?

Thanks

I know there isn’t one for golf clubs as a nonrev or on confirmed for less tickets. Since they are special items as well I’d assume that the same applies to the boards.

Glue it to your back post security then it's part of your person. Plus you'll get lie flat seating in the aisle.

This is my favorite thread

This week I flew on a confirmed ticket with 4 boards in 1 bag and asked about nonrev was told there wouldn’t be a fee. On the confirmed ticket I was charged $100 on the outbound leg and the agent put it in as less than 72” on the return leg for no fee.

They are allowed, and I frequently nonrev with one. [emoji1688]

Edit: Yes, it’s free.

They dinged my board so bad. Crushed the fish tail and had to spend a couple hundred to have someone put it back together. A buddy used fitted foam blocks for the nose and back and he says he never gets dings. Food for thought
I guess there is always a cost lol

This sounds most fun during takeoff and landing.

How about bringing it when operating? Is it possible?

that, removing fins, and pool noodles and flat styrofoam (save it from your TV or appliance purchases) on deck/bottom is as good as you can ever do.
