Carrying a golf driver on an international flight?

Question

Hi, i need to know if there is a charge on carrying a golf driver(not the whole set) on an international flight. And what will be the best way of carrying it.

Answer 1

Call your airline directly.  some charge extra, some do not.  The driver is like weapon.  It can be handed directly to the flight crew.  There are special containers for golf clubs rated for rough handeling.  If you can't afford them, try using a rifle case.  A large rifle case will hold two or three clubs easlily.

Answer 2

EMS UPS TNT,i think EMS is suitable for you!

Answer 3

If you have purchased the club and need to get it home the best way is to ask the shop where you have brought it from to ship it to your address, it will cost a little money but less than if you took it yourself.

If you have to take it yourself you need to notify the airline of your intentions, they will then inform you of the best way of doing this.

I have done this twice in the past:

1: I simply wrapped the club in bubble wrap, secured it with tape and put my address details on it before booking it in as luggage.

2: The second time I had to actually put it into a box, (You'll find perfect sized boxes for free at your local golf shop) they then sent me to a specialist check-in desk where I had to pay $40.00 Duty.

Good Luck.
