Qantas Kiteboard Fees

Qantas Airlines accepts your kitesurfing equipment as checked luggage. It will be included in your free checked baggage allowance, so will count toward your weight/piece allowance and may replace your suitcase. If bringing your kitesurf gear in addition to a suitcase, you will need to purchase additional baggage allowance before your flight.

To carry kitesurf equipment as baggage, fins must be removed where possible and placed in an enclosed compartment or taped to the board. Qantas Check-in will attach a Fragile tag to the bag and you must complete and sign the limited release portion of the baggage tag. [AMZ asins='B01BN1W5G6,B01465RK8E,B00NIYJF6U,B003EBV7XG']
