Hi everyone!

I am new tot his so please bare with me! Does anyone know if Qantas will accept boards over 9ft? i.e. will they measure everything at the airport with a tape measure?

I've got a 9'6 McTavish and would really like to be able to take it on holiday with me for 5 wks!

Don't suppose anyone has any experience with them??

Thanks!

Id watch Virgin too, have learnt that what is indicated on the website is not always what happens when you arrive to check in, nothing like being held to ransom prior to boarding an OS flight.

Friends just returned from trip to Tonga & Virgin didn't send any luggage for 50 passengers, so stuck without not only boards etc, but no clothes, toothbrush anything.

ADD EXTRA PADDING TO;
- NOSE
- TAIL
- RAIL opposite side to the handle on the rail...



Reason: the baggage handlers are human (obviously!), and just throw it around like a big suit case... They pick it up at the "central handle", and throw it into its next position... So the nose or tail will get slammed into a wall, or the end of the container.... They also let it drop about 1 foot (30 centimeters), so the rail can also cop a pounding...
* Add the padding to those 3 areas, as a minimum...
