Flying with a surfboard on Citilink
Citilink takes surfboards with no published fee figure.
The fine print
Surfboards explicitly listed as sports equipment subject to the special sports baggage fee, accepted if sufficient hold space is available. Sport baggage cannot be combined with the free baggage allowance. LinkSport (free membership program) members get an additional 20 kg sports-baggage benefit covering one type of equipment incl. surfboard (excess over 20 kg paid by member), valid domestic and international. Bringing only one component of a sports set is still charged at the sports baggage rate. Equipment outside the defined sports categories charged at regular excess-baggage rates. No surfboard length cap published on accessible official pages; no aircraft-type restriction stated (Citilink operates A320-family). citilink.co.id pages fetch blocked (403 geo-block); confirmed via official-domain snippets from citilink.co.id sport-baggage / linksport / contact.citilink.co.id pages.
Will your bag clear it?
Citilink publishes no size figure for boards, 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.
