I haven't traveled with my boards yet.

I had to pay on a LAN flight for a surf board and BA as far as I know have had to back-track on their no board policy.  http://www.flyingfees.com/ Logged SUAN Newbie Karma: +0/-0 Posts: 11 How to pay for your SUP passion. Re: Anyone travelled with an SUP? « Reply #5 on: May 27, 2011, 12:08:47 AM » One of the reasons I ended up with the Gerry Lopez Lil' Darlin was because it was under 8' 11". To fly it out of my little airport on Horizon it had to be less then 10' I think. With the bag and padding, I just made it.

The airlines don't charge you anything when your paddleboard folds up into a bag. C4 inflatables are definitely the way to go.
