What surfers say
- Damaged (2025, BIQ-STN): A Welsh surfer's bag with three boards, wetsuits and clothes was run over by the vehicle that moves the boarding stairs after a flight home from south-west France. Staff told him he would be reimbursed and sent him to an online claim, but six weeks later nothing had been paid. source
- Smooth (2019): A traveller rated the flight as average low-cost but said surfboards and longboards travelled fine once the large sports item add-on (about 55 euros per flight) was booked in advance; they advised bubble-wrapping the rails and checking the boards at the belt. source
