Great news for Kitesurfers! As of January 8 2025, Hawaiian Airlines has modified its sports equipment policies to now accept kitesurfing equipment free of charge (standard checked baggage fee still applies), with no additional Oversize or special Kitesurfing/Surfboard fees on all of its domestic and international flights.
Kitesurfing Bags are accepted instead of a regular piece of checked luggage (standard baggage fee, or count as one of your free checked bags if applicable), as long as they weight less than 23 kg / 50 lbs. Overweight kitesurf bags still incur the standard Overweight Baggage fee applicable to any overweight bag. [AMZ asins='B01BN1W5G6,B01465RK8E,B00NIYJF6U,B003EBV7XG']
There is no oversize luggage fee for Kiteboards or Kitesurf Bags on Hawaiian Airlines, as long they are less than 115 linear inches (L + W + H) / 292 cm total.
Please see the standard Hawaiian Airlines Baggage Fees page for the regular baggage fees and overweight fees which may apply.
Hawaiian Airlines would previously charge up to $475 one-way on some routes for bringing a kitesurfing bag, so this is a major change thanks to its merger with Alaska Airlines last year.
