Flying with a surfboard on Allegiant Air
Allegiant Air publishes no clear surfboard policy. Call before you book.
The fine print
Allegiant does not list surfboards. The baggage page lists accepted sporting equipment (bowling, golf, hockey, fishing, snow skis or one snowboard, water skis, skateboards, archery, scuba) and surfboards are not in the list. If Allegiant accepts a board, it is sporting equipment and counts as one checked bag. Call Allegiant before you book. Official pages: Baggage page: 'Each piece of sporting equipment will be considered a checked bag with all applicable fees applied per person, per bag, per segment.' Contract of Carriage 65.2.4: 'Sports equipment measuring one hundred twenty-six (126) linear inches or three hundred nineteen (319) linear centimeters or less will not incur an oversize baggage charge. Carrier will not accept sports equipment measuring greater than one hundred twenty-six (126) linear inches or three hundred nineteen (319) linear centimeters in size.' 65.2.5: 'Sports equipment weighing seventy (70) pounds or thirty-two (32) kilograms or less will not incur an excess weight baggage fee.'
Will your bag clear it?
Allegiant Air 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.

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 61 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 114 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.
