Want to bring sports equipment with you on your trip? We’ve got you covered! But here are a few things you should know.
Space is limited, so preregister
Flying with bicycles, golf clubs, kiteboards, skis, surfboards, hockey equipment? Preregister them up to 72 hours before departure, as space is limited.
What other types of sports equipment can be preregistered? Check the list below.
You can preregister by calling us at +1-514-636-3630 or 1-877-TRANSAT (872-6728).
Prepay and save
Some types of sports equipment have flat fees, others have standard baggage fees, but all can be prepaid up to 72 hours before departure. This way, you’ll skip the wait at the airport and save, as the prices at the airport are higher.
You can prepay by calling us at +1-514-636-3630 or 1-877-TRANSAT (872-6728).
What can you pack?
Sports equipment bags or cases can only carry sporting goods; any additional items (clothing, personal items, etc.) will not be accepted.
Preregistering or prepaying for sports equipment does not guarantee it will be accepted on board. It is subject to available space. Please confirm with an agent at airport check-in. Even if your sports equipment is included in your checked baggage allowance, we still recommend you preregister it (if that option is available for your item), as space is limited. Some restrictions on sporting goods may apply.
