Sporting Equipment

If you plan on travelling with sporting equipment, the sporting equipment comes out of your baggage allowance. So if you only have one free bag as part of that allowance you will be paying for another bag.

Should the weight of your equipment exceed 23kg - 51lbs (and it can weigh no more than 32kg - 70lbs) and you don't qualify under the exemptions listed in post #1, you will be charged the heavy bag fee too.

The same maximum dimensions apply to sports equipment as regular baggage, so 190cm x 75cm x 65cm (75in x 29.5in x 25.5in). Equipment must be packed in a travel case specifically designed for that piece of equipment.

Sporting equipment not accepted:

BA do not accept the following as sporting equipment:
Hang gliders, windsurfing boards and sails, kayaks, canoes and oars, pole vaults, javelins, water-skis and surfboards (that exceed the maximum dimensions). They suggest you send these freight

N.B. This applies only to BA! Codeshare, Oneworld and alliance partners may well be different so make sure you check.
