Flying with a surfboard on Vueling
Vueling takes surfboards for a $59 fee each way.
The fine print
Surfboard classed as special luggage (never included in any fare); board must be properly protected inside its case; pieces over 32 kg cannot be transported. Add during booking or via Manage my booking; one-leg-only special luggage requires Customer Service. At some airports (e.g. Barcelona) collected at a separate belt. Exact EUR 50 fee taken from official-domain search snippet; live price page is dynamic.
Will your bag clear it?
Vueling 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.
