hey ang with virgin does it matter how many boards you've got in seperate covers as long as your under the weight limit???? and have you guys ever flown hawaiin to hawaii????
Hey mate, Yeh we flew Hawaiian last yr but never had any sup's with us, i think hawaiian are pretty good aswell, as long as it's not over 11ft. On virgin each piece of sporting equipment only counts as 5kg of your total weight, providing each item isnt over 23kg or 25kg, i can't remember.
I've never been charged excess by virgin ever, and i've had some serious kite gear baggage with me a few times.
On the way back from California on Virgin Australia we had a sup and so much luggage but they never blink an eyelid at the sup. Didn't even weight it LOL. Love them.
I've flowen vigin within Oz with Sup's gear never been charged anything.
I guess when your boss (R Branson) is a Kitesurfer & Stand Up Paddler he likes us all to his airline.
I've even been told that i could fly with a raceboard 14ft from goldie to perth but i never tested that one out yet.
My mate fly's for virgin and even he said, as along as you are flying on one of their planes with a 6m cargo hold up the front, you can take a race board for nothing!!! Nice but like i say, i've never tested it out yet LOL.
