Die Surfboardmitnahme im Flugzeug ist ein ganz heikles Thema. Vor einiger Zeit konnte man mit Charme und etwas Glück das unwissende Check-In Personal noch zum Teil überlisten. Nachdem unser liebster Sport starken Zuwachs bekam und die Ausübung immer eine Reise erfordert, haben die Airlines ihr Personal bestens geschult und mit Informationen ausgestattet. So gibt es Airlines die sogar die Anzahl der Boards in der Tasche kontrolliert, da sich die Gebühr pro Board und nicht Tasche versteht. Der Trick mit dem gewichtsreduzierenden Knieunterlegen funktioniert aber häufig noch immer…
Wir haben Euch letztes Jahr eine Übersicht zusammengestellt die sich nun mit der aktuellen Liste vom SURFER Magazin ausgezeichnet ergänzt. Denn gerade die Amerikanischen Airlines schlagen meist heftig zu wenn es um Boardmitnahme geht.
