Flying with a surfboard on Royal Air Maroc
Royal Air Maroc takes surfboards for a $130 fee each way.
The fine print
Official Sports Equipment Guide fetched successfully. Surfboards are not explicitly listed by name; the page publishes the generic sport-equipment fee tiers above (largest tier 32 kg / 300 cm) and lists kitesurf as free up to 23 kg / 220x40x40 cm. Eligible free equipment presented directly at check-in, no SR code required in PNR; excess weight/dimensions processed as standard excess baggage; lithium-battery-powered equipment prohibited.
Will your bag clear it?
Royal Air Maroc 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.
