American Airlines provides a list of sports equipment they allow
without additional charges. Kayak paddles is not on the list. Contacting AA, they indicated they set policies based on the needs of the "Large group " of airline passangers. They will review their policies when enough travelers request a change. Why travel with a paddle? Kayak tour companies currently provide boats, but expect one to bring their own paddles. If you ever consider taking a toured trip which requires air travel please contact the airlines now and request a policy change. AA may be contacted through via http://www.aa.com/customerrelations/ Comments I made to AA we At present kayak paddles are not on the allowable sports equipment list (At American Airlines). In years past one could carry paddles through in ski bags. With tighter security this is a less likely option. Please add kayak paddles to the allowable sports gear list. This list includes skies as one of the two checked baggage (at no additional cost) list. Kayak paddles are similar in size, lighter in weight and as durable. The existing policy makes kayak paddles an oversize item resulting in an additional fee ($80 each way). Tour companies offering kayak adventures supply boats, but not paddles. Please allow the boating community to travel on your airline as you do with other sporting activities like skiers and fisherman. |
