The fine print

Surfboards are 'large sports equipment' (max 32 kg). Sports equipment must be bought as a standalone item — cannot substitute for hold luggage and weight cannot be pooled with hold luggage. Max 6 large sports items per online booking. One small sports item per person. No explicit length cap published on the sports-equipment page.

Will your bag clear it?

easyJet 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 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.
