Wheeled Longboard Travel Bags - too heavy ?
Posted: Fri Dec 08, 2017 12:06 pmHi all,
for flying with long boards, so far we used a nonwheeled double longboard bag, but that is quite difficult to handle at the airport. Upright on a trolley it is often too high, and for lying it square down on the trolley you most of the time don't have the place. So I was considering a wheeled bag, either the 9.2 FCS Double bag or the 9.6 O&E GTS bag, which I like a lot as it is quite robust and has the thickest padding.
However, at 8 and 8.7kg, they are very heavy, while an unwheeled FCS Double bag is less than 4kg. The airline I mostly fly with has no specific lengt or weight restrictions, but I wonder whether that additional weight does not create too many issues.
Does anyone have experiences in travelling with such long and heavy wheeled bags?
