Are there any restrictions on carrying sports equipment?

Asked 6 months ago
Yes, there are some restrictions on carrying sports equipment when flying with American Airlines. The specific rules and restrictions depend on the type of sports equipment. For example, golf clubs, skis, and snowboards are generally allowed as checked baggage, but they may count as one checked item and may incur additional fees. Bicycles, surfboards, and kayaks, on the other hand, require special handling and may have size limitations. American Airlines offers a detailed list of sports equipment items on their website, along with information on how to properly pack and declare them. It is important for passengers to review and comply with the airline's guidelines to ensure a smooth travel experience with their sports equipment.
