Fly Alaska!

Post by Bob »

Fly Alaska Airlines!
Just got back from surf trip and they only charged me $25 each way for my board. She knew it was a board and only charged me the normal bag fee.
Gotta support the airlines that don't rip off surfers for board fees.
Good trip. Good surf. Light, grumpy, local crowd. Shhh!

You got very lucky. It all depends what airport you're flying out of. I fly Alaska exclusively- most of the time the board fee is $75. Sometimes, since I'm an MVP with them and I don't pay for my first two bags, they don't charge me for my board. John Wayne Airport usually doesn't charge- LAX always charges (as does Seattle).

Still, $75 isn't bad compared to many other airlines.
