Airlink / FlyAirlink takes surfboards with no board fee.
The fine print
Official page fetched successfully. Equipment must be packed as one piece, max 15 kg over and above the ticket's checked allowance; bags may contain only sports equipment (no clothing/personal items). SSR SPEQ pre-booking listed against surf/kite/paddle/skateboards; special-assistance/equipment requests to be confirmed 72 hours before flight. Carriage subject to weight and hold space available (small Embraer fleet) - if no space, equipment travels on the next available flight; hold space may be restricted on full flights or in certain weather.
Will your bag clear it?
Airlink / FlyAirlink 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 Airlink / FlyAirlink charge for surfboards?
No board-specific fee. Free extra 15 kg sporting-equipment allowance on top of the checked allowance (Economy 20 kg + 15 kg = 35 kg total combined free); excess baggage rates apply only if the total combined weight exceeds the combined free allowance
What is Airlink / FlyAirlink's surfboard size limit?
Surf, kite, paddle and skateboards: 'Provided they do not exceed 2m in length'; general sports items max 190 cm x 75 cm x 65 cm - items exceeding these must go as cargo.
Does a board bag count as a checked bag on Airlink / FlyAirlink?
No. The board is handled outside the standard checked-bag allowance. Free extra 15 kg sporting-equipment allowance on top of the checked allowance (Economy 20 kg + 15 kg = 35 kg total combined free); excess baggage rates apply only if the total combined weight exceeds the combined free allowance
