Jetstar.com Fishing Rod Fees

Jetstar will accept your fishing equipment within your baggage weight allowance, but you will be charged an Oversize Item fee of $25 AUD / NZD if your fishing rod is packed in a case longer than 100 cm. The easiest way to do so is to add your "bulky item" to your booking is to do so via "Manage my Booking" on the Jetstar website.

Keep in mind that your fishing rod will count toward your total baggage weight allowance, so be sure your ticket includes enough weight allowance, or to purchase enough weight allowance, so that your fishing equipment and any suitcases you are bringing all fit within your total checked baggage weight allowance - otherwise a steep per KG fee will be charged for excess weight.

If you're travelling with bulky items, make sure you arrive at the airport when check in opens for your flight. All bulky items must be packed appropriately in accordance with the guidelines, before being presented at check-in.
