Flying with a surfboard on Transavia (France & Netherlands)
Transavia (France & Netherlands) takes surfboards for a $61 fee each way.
The fine print
1 bag with a surfboard, waveboard, kiteboard or bodyboard; no extra items (e.g. clothes) may be packed in the board bag. Special baggage must be declared in advance (at booking, via My Transavia, or Service Centre; until max 2 hours before departure online). Help-page fetch blocked (403); confirmed via official-domain (transavia.com) snippets.
Will your bag clear it?
Transavia (France & Netherlands) 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.
