Further information about surfing and windsurfing equipment







 
  • For flights operated by small aircraft with limited baggage hold capacity, such as the ATR42/72, surfing and windsurfing equipment cannot be accepted.
  • For flights operated by slightly larger aircraft within the small aircraft category, such as the Embraer ER4, only surfing equipment may be accepted (surfboards must not exceed 250cm in length; masts and sails will not be accepted)
  • Considering the varying dimensions of different sports equipment and depending on the type of aircraft, the reservation/check-in of equipment will have to be approved by the Cargo department. Therefore we advise all passengers travelling with sports equipment to contact the call centre  to arrange the booking and check-in procedure.
In particular, to check-in and transport surfboards and windsurfing equipment (considered in addition to the normal baggage allowance), you must:
  • declare the item at the time of booking, and in the event of connecting flights with other carriers you must obtain the permission of the other carrier involved or carriage of the equipment will be restricted to the Alitalia flight leg only
  • arrive at the check-in desk at least one hour prior to flight departure
  • pack the equipment in its cases or in such a way that protects the items during loading and unloading  
Sports equipment included in your baggage allowance (max 20kg per item).
