Flying with a surfboard on Korean Air
Checked bag or sports fee · 32 kg.
- counts as a checked bag if under 292 cm total dimensions (115 in) and 32 kg, per Pro-Lite; extra-piece fee if over your bag count
- official page says sports gear not listed separately goes free in the checked allowance, but surfboard rules couldn't be read there
- oversize fees of USD 150 to 400 by route are reported for 204-292 cm bags; unclear whether boards pay them
- Korean domestic flights: older sources mention a handling fee for items over 158 cm and KRW 2,000 per kg over the allowance
- third-party figures conflict (one lists USD 100 per way and 200 cm); ask the airline before you fly
