WindsurfingBritish Airways have announced that from next month, they will no longer carry surfboards and other sporting equipment on board their aircraft.

Customers will not be able to check in sporting equipment in the form of surfboards, windsurf boards and sails, hang gliders, kayaks, canoes and javelins. This has happened due to BA decideing that the equipments is just too large and takes a lot of handling.

If you decide that you want to take the equipment away with you then you are going to have to arrange for it to be flown to you via another company.

BA is not refusing all sporting equipment as they have said that bicylces, snowboards and skis will still be allowed as long as they are packed properly.
