The Ultimate Guide to Flying Commercial Airlines with your Golf Clubs

Posted


The thought of traveling with your beloved golf clubs can be daunting. Besides the obvious hurdle of packing the gear in a golf specific travel bag, selecting an airline to fly with is a challenge in and of itself. Every airline has its own set of rules and fees for checking golf equipment.

The good news, flying with golf equipment is easy and probably won’t cost you extra. That said, some commercial airlines have rules you need to be aware of, such as a limit in number of balls which could be in your golf bag. Pro Tip, you should always have head covers on your clubs whenever traveling. Or better yet, remove the heads for your adjustable clubs and then store clubheads in golf bag.  These simple steps will help absorb some of the impact from the bag being thrown around and help protect your clubs.  

For our example, we’ll assume that the golf bag measures 72 linear inches and weighs 40 pounds.
