British Airways Bans Kayaks
Filed in archive Outdoor News on October 24, 2007

While catching up on my blog reading over at PaddlingInstructor, I learned as of November 6, 2007, kayaks, canoes, and other sports equipment will not be allowed. The airlines lists size and handling as the reason why but I'm not buying it. If skis aren't banned, then why should kayaks?
What do you think?
Sporting equipment we do not carry (effective from 6 November 2007)
Due to the large size and handling complexities, some sporting equipment cannot be accommodated through the airport baggage system or within the aircraft hold. Therefore we no longer accept the following equipment at check-in as part of your sporting equipment allowance.
hang gliders
windsurfing boards and sails
surfboards
kayaks or canoes
pole vaults
javelins
Please contact your local freight company to arrange carriage for any items that exceed the permitted weight and size.
