Windsurfing Equipment is accepted by Alaska Airlines as regular checked baggage. Standard checked baggage fees apply, but oversize and overweight fees are waived. Alaska Airlines allows for multiple piece to be checked in and considered as a single piece of checked luggage, so you may pack your board separately from the sail and rig, although depending on your check-in agent you may be charged for multiple items, so we recommend packing your gear together if possible (as long as you stay below the 45 kg / 100 lbs limit). If checked as a first bag, the fee is $30, $40 as a second bag, or $150 as a 3rd bag. Please note the higher $150 3rd / Extra Bag fee for 2023, which applies on all Alaska Airlines flights purchased on/after June 30 2023.

Allegiant Air	No	Not Accepted	View Policy
Allegiant Air Allegiant Air Windsurfing Equipment Policy Allegiant Air does not specify specific windsurfing equipment rules in their checked baggage policies, although their rules for oversize and overweight bags make it difficult to fit windsurfing equipment within them. Sporting equipment is considered as standard checked baggage, and all applicable checked baggage fees apply. If exceeding the 80 inch, 40 lbs size and weight limits, additional fees will apply. Windsurfing equipment, unless flying with just a quiver bag with a few sails, will always exceed the 80 inch size limit, and you will be charged a $75 oversize fee. However, this allows us only a 115 linear inch limit (length + width + height), which is exceeded by anything larger than a 70-ish liter waveboard. Feel free to try your luck with windsurf equipment, but be wary that it may be refused for travel by Allegiant Air. If exceeding Allegiant's 50 lbs weight limit with your Windsurf bag, you will be charged a $50 overweight fee as long as the bag is below 70 lbs / 32 kg. Bags weighing between 70-100 lbs (32-45 kg) will be charged an additional $75 fee, bringing the total fee to about $200, with no guarantee it will be accepted. We recommend picking another airline, such as Alaska Airlines or Southwest, if flying with windsurfing equipment.

However, you may attempt to pass of your windsurf board as a surfboard or SUP, as long as the bag weighs less than 50 lbs / 23 kg, and have it accepted paying only the standard checked baggage fee for your destination. Although there is a high flat fee of $150 USD for windsurfing equipment (you can not bring it as a replacement for your regular checked baggage allowance), the weight allowance is actually quite reasonable, of 70lbs/32kg per piece, and you are permitted to pack the board in a separate bag from your sails, with both pieces counting as a single piece of windsurf equipment. You may require some haggling at the airport, but these are the official American Airlines rules, so be sure to print out the official rules and bring them with you to the airport in case they are required, as many check-in agents are not familiar with the allowance for separate pieces for windsurf equipment. These is the text from the American Airlines website regarding windsurfing equipment: -------------------- Allowance/Requirements You can travel with: 1 board 1 mast A boom and sail Cost $150 for every 2 pieces Maximum Weight and Size 70 lbs. and 126 inches based on the airplane size and load factors (please note, as of January 2021, American Airlines has removed this size/weight limit definition from its Windsurfing Equipment policy page) Additional Information Acceptance conditional on aircraft size and load factors Up to two pieces (as described) count as one piece for baggage charges.

Eastern Airlines	Yes	$100-$200 USD	View Policy
Eastern Airlines Eastern Airlines Windsurfing Equipment Policy Eastern Airlines does not specifically mention Windsurfing Equipment as a sporting equipment item in their policies, however your windsurf boardbag and quiver bag can fit within their standard checked baggage policies. The 80 inch / 203 cm linear dimensions limit will not fit a standard windsurf board - you will have to pay an oversize fee of $100 for items up to 115 inches / 292 cm - which should be enough to fit a waveboard and rig in a standard travel bag. Keep in mind that these are LINEAR DIMENSIONS (L+W+H), it does not mean a board bag 115 inches/292 cm long. Eastern Airlines's standard baggage weight allowance of 32 kg / 70 lbs should be enough to fit a boardbag with 1 board and 1 rig (sail, mast, boom, accessories), so you will not have to pay an additional overweight fee. However, if you are flying with more gear (boards/masts/sails), you have 2 options - an overweight fee or a 2nd bag. An overweight fee of $100 would apply if exceeding 32 kg / 70 lbs, with a maximum weight limit of 45 kg / 100 lbs. The other option is to split your gear to pack into 2 separate bags (1 board bag, 1 quiver bag), to maintain each bag below the 32 kg / 70 lbs limit and avoid the overweight fee, and be allowed a total of 64 kg / 140 lbs for a cheaper 2nd checked bag fee (up to $65 USD). This is a good option if travelling with smaller wavesails, so you can pack your masts and larger sails into the board bag, and use the quiver bag for your sails/boom/accessories so that it doesn't exceed the 80 linear inches to not incur a 2nd oversize fee.

Emirates Emirates Windsurfing Equipment Policy Emirates will accept windsurf equipment as checked baggage and part of your standard baggage allowance, provided the following: Any sails are detachable and collapsible. The windsurf equipment is appropriately packed in a hard-shell packing case. If not, a Limited Release will be required. Fins should always be removed, or, if they cannot be removed, should be firmly packed with polystyrene foam. Both nose and tail should have bubble-wrap or neoprene foam attached for protection. The rails (sides of the board) should have cardboard down the sides to absorb shock. The board should be packed in a properly padded surf-bag. Should your overall baggage weight or amount exceed the normal free allowance, excess baggage rates will apply. Individual items with total dimensions exceeding 300cm (118 inches) cannot be transported as checked baggage, and must be sent as cargo or freight. There are no exceptions to this rule. On most Emirates flights, where a Weight-based baggage allowance is involved, you are not limited to the number or size of your baggage, as long as total linear dimensions are within 300cm. Unfortunately, with the low baggage weight allowances for Economy passengers, you are likely to incur hefty overweight fees. In this case, we recommend planning ahead of time by buying extra Kilos online (cheaper than at the airport), or select a different airline. On Piece Concept flights (to/from North America, for example), a size limit of 300cm linear dimensions per piece is in place. Exceeding the standard 23 kg / 50 lbs weight allowance will incur an overweight fee.

Please keep in mind that United Airlines may still charge the Oversize and Overweight (if applicable) luggage fees for your boardbag. If you have yet to buy your flight, we recommend looking to fly with Alaska Airlines or American Airlines for bringing your windsurfing equipment. ---------------------------- Updated Windsurf Equipment Luggage Rules for United Airlines in 2023: You can bring one set of windsurfing equipment if you’re flying on United: One windsurfing board (less than 115 in or 292 cm total) One boom One mast One sail Necessary hardware Windsurf equipment should weigh less than 99.9 pounds (45.3 kg) and should be checked as a special item. It must be padded and enclosed in a package that will protect it from scratches, dents and other damage during normal handling.

Volaris "More Baggage Combo" We recommend the "More Baggage Combo", available at the time of booking your flight. The price for the combo at the airport is significantly higher. The More Baggage Combo includes includes: - Additional 10 kg/22lbs Carry-on Allowance - One 25kg Checked Bag - One piece of Sporting Equipment (max length 250 cm, max weight 55 lbs / 25 kg) Price of "More Baggage Combo" Domestic: Please contact Volaris Reservations Price of "More Baggage Combo" International: $160 USD ($200 USD high season) Otherwise, purchasing an individual allowance for your windsurf equipment of only sports equipment will cost the following (limit 250 cm long, max weight 25 kg / 55 lbs): Sports Equipment Fee - Domestic - Low Season: $1100 MXN ($1300 MXN at Airport) Sports Equipment Fee - Domestic - High Season: $1100 MXN ($2000 MXN at Airport) Sports Equipment Fee - Within Central America - Low Season: $50 USD ($78 USD at Airport) Sports Equipment Fee - Within Central America - High Season: $50 USD ($80 USD at Airport) Sports Equipment Fee - International - Low Season: $150 USD ($150 USD at the airport) Sports Equipment Fee - International - High Season: $150 USD ($210 USD at the airport) Oversize and overweight fees may apply. If flying with a second quiver bag, it may make more sense to pre-purchase a 2nd sports equipment in addition to the More Baggage Combo, or an individual additional suitcase of 25kg/55lbs in which to place the heavier items (mast bases, extensions, fins, etc.), rather than packing it all into a single heavy board bag, as the excess weight fees are generally more expensive than paying for a 2nd bag. Sports equipment will not be accepted if it exceeds 110 inches or 99 lbs
Vueling	No	55+ EUR	View Policy
Vueling Vueling Windsurfing Equipment Policy Vueling accepts windsurfing equipment for a special luggage fee starting at 55 EUR each way if purchased ahead of time. You will be charged a higher fee if paying for your windsurf bag at the airport. Remember that in order to travel, your windsurf gear must be correctly packed, labelled and protected so that it can be carried safely. A windsurfing bag is considered Special Luggage, so it cannot be included in your regular checked baggage allowance. You will have to add your windsurfing equipment as a piece of Special Luggage by selecting "Windsurfing Sail" from the Special Luggage dropdown, either when making your original booking or by adding it to your reservation via the Vueling website or app later on. Keep in mind that it is much cheaper to pay for bringing your board bag online rather than at the airport. Your windsurf bag may weigh up to a maximum of 32 kg / 70 lbs, with a maximum length of 2.70 meters. You should be able to fit one board and one sail/mast/boom within the 32 kg / 70 lbs, but if bringing more gear you may need to purchase 2x boardbags for your trip. If flying with wing-foiling gear, your board bag should fit within the weight limit depending on the weight of your foil - you may need to split it up and pack some smaller pieces of your foil, such as the stabilizer and fuselage, into your regular suitcase to fit within the weight limits if flying with an aluminium foil. You'll be told where to drop off your windsurf once you get to the check-in desk on the day of your flight - there is usually an Oversize Luggage drop-off area located in the check-in area of the airport terminal.
Westjet	Yes	$150-$250	View Policy
Westjet Westjet Windsurfing Equipment Policy Windsurfing equipment is accepted on Westjet flights as checked baggage when less than 9.8 feet (3 metres) long. It will be treated as a piece of regular checked luggage, hence a whole range of fees may apply. The standard checked baggage / extra piece fee will be charged, plus the oversize baggage fee ($100), and the overweight fee if applicable ($100 for bags weighing 23-32 kg / 50-70 lbs). In addition, a $50 CAD/USD "Handling Fee" has been introduced and will be applied to surfboards, paddleboards, kiteboards, wakeboards and wave skis, boogie/skimboards and windsurfers. Although Westjet is known to be a customer-friendly airline and many windsurfers have flown with them paying only the $50 handling fee, this will really depend on your check-in agent and whether they charge you all of the fees that their policy includes. In theory, a single windsurfing bag may cost you up to $250 ($100 Oversize, $100 Overweight, $50 handling fee), plus the standard "Checked Bag" fee for your flight depending on whether it is your 1st, 2nd or 3rd checked bag. All boards must have the skeg/fin removed, be padded, and packed properly to prevent damage to the board, sail and other baggage. All applicable oversized, overweight and extra piece fees apply. Oversize and overweight fees are about $100 each, and both will be charged if applicable. A handling fee of 50 CAD/USD will be applied to surfboards, paddleboards, kiteboards, wakeboards and wave skis, boogie/skimboards and windsurfers
