Taking your buggy on an Airplane???


http://www.southwest.com/travel_center/pod_chart.html

Here is a good link to the fees of all the major airlines. You may want to take into account the extra fees certain airlines charge.

Also most of these are hidden fees that they charge after your intial airline ticket purchase.

It is going to cost me $80 round trip just to check 2 bags.
The carry on BAG is included in the regular ticket price.

each airline chargers their own fees too. :crazy:

US Airways, oddly charges for every luggage.

This year i was very lucky travelling to NABX. no charges for the overweight at all.

PS. next time bring the Wife/GF, she can take some buggy parts for ya. :spin:

damn rights, lie like you never lied before.

i lied to TSA as well, until they wanted to open my bag and swab the contents. he didnt seem to care golf clubs or not.

golf bags count as one of your luggage allowance, even it its overweight. Confirmed by Delta, Air Canada, US Airways.
hehehe.

my packing method, buggy frame in golf bag, clothes/wheels/rims/tools in other luggage, and kites on my carry on.
when in doubt bring wife to the extra luggage allowance. ROFL.
