Gute Neuigkeiten wer künftig mit KLM fliegt. Das Surfgepäck darf scheinbar ab nun gratis mitgenommen werden.
Die einzige Voraussetzung ist das Gepäck rechtzeitig anzumelden. Bei last-minute Flügen muss man wahrscheinlich wie bereits seit einigen Jahren üblich die extra Kosten für sein Equipment berappen.
When going on a surf trip, you will spend most of your time chasing waves. Now you can choose to take your surf gear instead of a suitcase on all KLM operated flights – and by this make considerable savings!
When taking your surf gear instead of a suitcase on an intercontinental flight, you can bring both your hand luggage and surf gear for free! If you still want to bring a suitcase, you only have to pay for the suitcase.
When taking your surf gear instead of a suitcase on a European flight, you now pay the regular suitcase fee instead of the special fee for surf gear. We advise you to pay this fee online on klm.com to receive an additional discount. So what are you waiting for – time to catch the waves!
Surfing equipment
- Surf equipment may contain a surf board and must be packed in a surf board bag.
- Windsurf equipment may consist of a board, mast, sail and boom and must be packed in 1 package, preferably in a 'quiver bag'.
- Kite surf equipment may consist of a board and a kite bag and must be packed in 1 package, preferably in a kite bag.
You can bring one of the above sets of surf equipment (packed in one bag) instead of a suitcase. You need to reserve for transportation of surf equipment if it is larger than 107 cm / 42 inch
Your surf equipment (including bag) of max. 300 cm / 118 inch may weight max. 23 kg (50.5 lbs) in Economy Class, and max.32 kg (70.5 lbs) in Business Class.
KLM ist scheinbar generell auf den Surfgeschmack gekommen. Es gibt eine eigene Surfdestination Seite, derzeit mal nur mit Infos über Portugal, Norwegen und Bali. Es können jedoch künftig weitere Reiseziele für Surfer erwartet werden.
