Sports equipment

From fishing rods to surfboards

We are happy to accept baggage of unusual shapes and sizes aboard the aircraft, provided the dimensions of the baggage hold allow this.

If an item of sports equipment is your only piece of checked baggage and it fits into the "small" category, it can be accepted free of charge. Otherwise it is charged according to the table of Baggage Allowances and Fees. Passengers planning to travel with sports equipment should contact the airline in advance, since acceptance is subject to availability.

Conditions when travelling with other carriers

If you are travelling with Adria and another carrier on the same ticket ('interline travel'), the following conditions apply:

  • If the published provisions regarding the carriage of baggage are the same for both carriers, these provisions shall apply.
  • If the published provisions are not identical, common provisions shall apply but, where provisions are different, the rules of the Most Significant Carrier (MSC) shall apply.
  • In the case of codeshare flights, the MSC is in most cases the operating carrier.
  • If the MSC does not publish provisions for a specific type of carriage, the provisions of the operating carrier (i.e. the carrier that accepts the baggage at check-in) shall apply.

If the operating carrier does not publish provisions for a specific type of carriage, the rules of the operating carriers shall apply to each flight segment separately.
