LAN Airlines has recently joined the ranks of the most surfer friendly airlines in the air now allowing one board bag under 50lbs and under 3 meters (9’6″) to travel free of charge.

Please note that a new exception will apply for passengers traveling with surfboards. Passengers will be allowed to carry surfboards that do not exceed 3 meters in length. This exception applies due to the fact that most surfboards exceed the maximum size allowed per route (203 cm.)

Passengers will be allowed to carry surfboards that do not exceed 3 meters in length. This exception applies due to the fact that most surfboards exceed the maximum size allowed per route (203 cm.)

If the surfboard does not exceed 3 meters in length and complies with the number of pieces and maximum weight allowed per route, it can be transported as checked baggage without incurring any excess baggage fees. Surfboards exceeding 3 m. in length will not be allowed as checked baggage, in such cases, passengers should contact cargo services to arrange transportation.

LAN offer convenient non stop flights to points throughout South America including Peru, Chile and Ecuador from most major US Gateway cities. Lets support LAN in their efforts to accommodate our special travel needs. – Thanks LAN.
