Probably the most surf-friendly airline in the world. Fair board fees, careful handling, and massive surf culture.
Boards usually fly free as part of checked baggage. Great rep for not smashing boards.
Legend status. Boards included in normal baggage allowance. Very surfer-friendly.
Boards counted as standard baggage if under 32 kg. Generally careful handlers.
Cheap Indo trips. As long as your board is under 1.9m, you’re sweet. Pay for extra weight.
Premium handling. Boards are treated better than most passengers.
Boards allowed as normal baggage but they’re strict on weight. Usually safe.
Good for Hawaii / Indo routes. Boardbags accepted with no drama.
Mixed track record. Some surfers swear they break a board every trip.
Often ranked as one of the worst for surfboard carnage. Only use if desperate.
Expensive fees + inconsistent treatment. Dutch roulette with your quiver.
