Windsurf boards can be transported in the hold with Air France. Prior approval from Air France customer service department is required. You must submit your request at least 48 hours before your flight's departure.
Depending on the size of the board and your travel dates, the following rules apply. [AMZ asins='B07WSRXMS8,3903038180,3937323228,B00JE3E028']
If your board bag is less than 300 cm / 118 inches in length and under 23 kg / 50 lb in weight, it is considered a standard checked baggage item and is included at no extra charge in your baggage allowance (except for Light and Basic fare tickets) if it is the only baggage that you want to check in (or one out of the 2 baggages allowed for the Business and La Première cabins.)
Want to transport more baggage items? Does your equipment exceed the number, size or weight allowance for your ticket? You can purchase a Baggage Option online or pay a fee for this option at the airport. It is much cheaper to buy this baggage option online.
Exceptions for flights to and from the United States, Canada or Mexico, or for corresponding flights via one of these countries
Separate rules apply for these flights to/from/through North America. It applies for bags longer than 107cm (meaning all windsurf bags). In this case, the following fees will apply:
- Zone 2: €65 (or 75 USD on flights departing from a country outside the European zone)
- Zone 4: €125 on flights departing from a country within the European zone (150 USD departing from all other countries)
- Zone 5: €100 on flights departing from a country within the European zone (100 USD departing from all other countries)
Check here for airports in zones.
If you would like to transport an additional baggage item or a baggage item that exceeds the weight limit, you must purchase additional baggage allowance online or at the airport.
Windsurf bags exceeding 32 kg / 70 lb in weight or 300 cm / 118 in in length cannot be transported in the hold.
