Upgrade your ticket with Jetstar to 30kg baggage allowance

Upgrading your baggage allowance prior to getting to the airport is gonna be the cheaper option. Pre-purchase of say 10kg extra allowance, prior to check in is maybe $20. I was charged $10 per kilo by Virgin on a return flight once, because i hadn't allowed for enough in excess baggage. If you allow for up 30kg/35kg for your normal luggage and all your kite gear, you sould be right.

Just be careful and make sure you check what plan your taking...
I was going to indo with Jetstar via darwin. The plane that took us brisbane to darwin had a length limit which meant any board over 6'2 couldn't fly. I had to leave my gun at the airport.
The plan from Darwin to Bali had a larger baggage hold though and other people getting on there could bring guns with them...
Who sends a flight to Indo and says you pretty much can't take 'surfboards'...
Never flown with them again.

Have got the kit weight down to 25kgs, 2 kites, 1 bar, 1 harness, 1 board (5'6"), boardies, towel in my 6' board bag no wheels, (no pump have been able to borrow so far, thanks all)
Cloths etc in my carry on.
Thats with qantas still a one bag check in.
