WindSurf Equipment cannot be booked online.
To book the windsurf equipment the passenger must contact their local reservations office, and add windsurfing equipment to your booking for a cost of 50 EUR / GBP. If you insist on adding windsurfing equipment to your booking online, you may choose to add it to your reservation as a surfboard instead, in which case you may be able to add it for a lower cost of 40 EUR / GBP.

Windsurf equipment is subject to a fee of 50 EUR / GBP payable at the airport on the day of departure. This fee is charged each-way on outbound and return journeys. A maximum of 1 Board, 1 Boom, 1 Sail and 1 Mast per person.

No item may exceed 2.40 m in length (94 inches). Wind surfing equipment must be packed to avoid damage.

Give sufficient time at check in for security and handling procedures. We recommend you arrive at check-in at least 90-minute pre flight.

All items must be packed so as to protect them against damage and avoid damage to other items of baggage.
