Flying with a surfboard on Air Mauritius
Air Mauritius takes surfboards with no board fee.
The fine print
Official additional-baggage page fetched successfully. Weight: up to 23 kg Economy / 32 kg Business per equipment piece. ATR aircraft (regional) limit 180 cm length - excess requires prior cargo arrangement. South Africa routes capped at 200 cm. No explicit advance-notification requirement stated on the page.
Will your bag clear it?
Air Mauritius publishes a length figure rather than a linear cap, so the comparison depends on your bag's own numbers. Check your exact bag: we hold the measured dimensions of 128 board bags and print a verdict per airline.
Fair questions
Does Air Mauritius charge for surfboards?
No board-specific fee. Sport equipment (surf, kitesurf, bodysurf, windsurf boards, longboards explicitly listed) is included in the free baggage allowance - one of your allowance pieces can be the board. Additional equipment beyond the allowance: EUR 110 long-haul / EUR 75 short & medium-haul; oversized sport equipment EUR 150
What is Air Mauritius's surfboard size limit?
Up to 300 cm on the network (up to 200 cm on South Africa routes); on ATR-operated flights equipment length must not exceed 180 cm (dimension basis for the 300/200 cm figures not specified on page). 300 cm network cap (200 cm South Africa routes); the page does not specify whether the figure is linear or pure length.
Does a board bag count as a checked bag on Air Mauritius?
Yes. The board bag takes one of your checked-bag allowances, so standard checked bag pricing applies.
Airline policies change without notice, and the operating carrier's policy is the one that counts, not the airline that sold the ticket. Confirm on the airline's baggage page before you fly. Fees across all 59 carriers: which airlines charge for a board. Size math: every bag against every limit.
The fee is half the cost. The fare is the other half.
BarrelFare watches round-trip fares to 97 surf breaks against the forecast, and can hide the flights that will not take your board. The board fee only hurts when the fare was already bad.
