TAP has marked the creation of new rules recently regarding the transport of sports equipment for surfers with a special campaign available throughout the month of May and one which is reflected in the offer of free transport for the surfboards of those who practice this sport.
Thus, passengers simply need to request this when booking or with the most advance warning possible prior to the start of their trip, confirming equipment to be transported and supplying information on the number of bags, their total weight and respective dimensions.
Surfboards must be properly packaged and transported in an appropriate bag for one or more boards and weigh up to 10kg.
This special offer is only valid on flights operated by TAP and includes one baggage piece per passenger who must fill out the term of responsibility for transporting surfboards when checking in.
Transport authorization is subject to space limitations on board some aircraft.
