Checking in a large board
I am travelling back to Sweden on Friday evening but want to take with me some wooden boards. The largest is around 95cm by 40cm.
If I put them in a cardboard box that was packaged properly could I check them in? I.e a flat screen TV box or similar?
I will be flying CE LHR-ARN.
Any help is much appreciated.

A checked bag can be up to 90 x 75 x 43cm (35.5 x 29.5 x 16in), including any bits that stick out, like the handle, pockets and wheels.

Once you've clicked on http://www.britishairways.com/en-gb/...age-allowances
Scroll down to 'Increasing your checked baggage allowance' and expand (show +) details
The third bullet point states: You can take larger items of up to 190 x 75 x 65cm (75 x 29.5 x 25.5in) for an additional charge. (Currently, we waive this charge so you do not pay it.)
Just make sure you do not exceed the number of allowable checked items and that each item weighs less than 32kg
