Just wondering if anyone has travelled international (particularly with QANTAS) with a 12'6? I'm sure they don't welcome you with open arms but is it doable?

You can send it as freight. Depending on which airline you are flying. Try Toll/Dnata at Perth airport

Trying to get it to California got BOP, have tried organising one over there but as it was a fairly last minute decision now looking for alternatives.

Angie, you guys seem to fly Virgin a bit are they any better?

Hi Mate,

The only airline i ever depend on for my board is United Airlines for $200 they can take it no worries but i'm not sure if they fly from perth? U could maybe get a virgin flight from perth on a 737 aircraft to syd and then united syd - lax, super easy. Max length for united is 3.8m and a max of 40kg for the board.
I have managed to get them on some other airlines but they won't always take them and you end up stuck!!!! Not a good situation to be in.

PM me if you need more help.

XX angie

If you fly virgin then contact Virgin Freight. You can send any size board via freight. It costs more but they will accept it.
