Swiss International Airlines Kiteboard Fees

Kitesurfing equipment can be accepted on SWISS Airlines within your regular free baggage allowance, in place of one suitcase. If exceeding your free baggage allowance, a "Normal" sports equipment fee will be charged.

Your kitesurfing equipment is limited to 2 meters in length in order to be accepted free of charge, otherwise the more expensive "Large" sports equipment fee will apply. [AMZ asins='B01BN1W5G6,B01465RK8E,B00NIYJF6U,B003EBV7XG']

Register Your Kitesurfing Equipment with SWISS Airlines

You MUST register your kite gear before your flight - you can do so until up to 24 hours before departure. It is no longer possible to register your sports equipment with less than 24 hours to go before departure.
