Equipment Transport Services

Airlines have become significantly strict with personal baggage weights.

USA (inbound) - 32kg per item (max 2 items) + carry on

International - 20 kg per item (max 2 items) + carry on.

This has limits for ski racers who want to take their quiver to international locations. Transportation of a training set and racing set for SL and GS is now pushing or exceeding the limits for air travel.

An alternative to carrying all your gear with you is to pre-send the excess equipment via an excess baggage service. Professional race teams are already quite familiar with this process with competitors that require training/racing sets for up to 4 disciplines.

Listed are some regional excess baggage companies that can arrange to have your excess gear transported. Most will perform door to door service or airport delivery. Items are tracked via a "Air-Way-Bill" number and sent via the cheapest fastest airline attending the destination.

Average costs charged by airlines for passenger excess baggage is 1.5% of a full adult economy fare per kilogram. Excess baggage services are significantly cheaper. # Note that large items may be charged by volume rather than weight.
