Hi,
which airline do you choose to fly in Australia with backpack(~15kg) and kite (10-15kg?)?

I`ve read Virgin blue seems to be better than Jetstar.
And do you have some tips or things o should know (for example things i should say when i check in?)

After that we have a flight from Brisbane to Frankfurt with Etihad Airways. It seems to be a bit of gambling when you dont want to pay. Do you have some advise?

Cheers

Jannis

try asking that question in the kiteboarding forum
