It certainly seems contradictory.
Sports Equipment Each item of sporting equipment represents one piece of the checked baggage allowance, provided that it does not exceed the maximum size and weight limits.
Sporting equipment includes but is not restricted to:
  • Bikes
  • Golf clubs
  • Snow skis/snowboards
  • Surfboards
  • Cricket/tennis bags
Note:
  • If you are travelling on a Saver fare with only sporting goods you will be required to purchase a checked baggage allowance for each separate piece you are carrying. We advise you to pre-purchase baggage online or by calling our Guest Contact Centre. Baggage allowances added/bought at the airport will be charged at a higher fee.
  • If you are travelling on a Saver Lite fare with only sporting goods you will be required to upgrade to a Saver fare to receive a checked baggage allowance. This can be done at the time of booking or by calling our Guest Contact Centre.
If you are on a Saver fare then you should not need to purchase luggage.

Elite and Gold Airpoints members that are booked through Virgin Australia (eg DJ101, DJ8000, VA101 or VA8000) for a trans-Tasman flight will not be entitled to any additional baggage allowance benefit over and above what is included with your fare.
