It's important to know that there are separate fees for each limitation you exceed: size, weight and quantity. For example, if an extra piece of baggage exceeds the weight and size limits, it will be subject to three fees: one for the extra bag, one for exceeding the weight limit and one for going over the size restriction. Fees are charged for each additional bag, each way.
Some destinations may have additional restrictions as well. Please review the breakdown below.

What Instruments Can I Check?
Musical instruments or equipment can be checked if the total linear dimension (length +width +height) does not exceed 115 inches (292 cm), and provided the weight, including the case, does not exceed 100 lbs. (45 kg).
See standard rules and fees for overweight and oversized baggage.
Sports Equipment
You can bring most sports equipment with you on your trip, though extra baggage fees may apply to oversized or overweight items. If you don't see your item below, then normal baggage allowances, fees and handling policies apply. Otherwise, you are likely to be able to bring your sports equipment in place of a regular piece of baggage, and be charged just the standard checked baggage fee - as long as the sports item weighs less than 50 lbs / 23 kg - the oversize baggage fee will be waived.
