Shipping a kayak to India - or can I fly with it?

score:5

Things I'd never thought I'd ask: "How big is your kayak?"

With Emirates Airlines, you can send sports equipment as luggage so long as its length+height+width is less than 300cm, for $350 each way. They also have an air-cargo service for larger items.

300cm seems small to me and $700 a lot of money. Maybe just buy a kayak in India and abandon it or resell it when you leave?

See here for some suggestions.

Quite a few airlines will take kayaks as checked baggage. But it is not cheap to do and not all kayaks are accepted (sea kayaks are often too long, whereas white water squirt boats are not). Plus you need to take into consideration when booking your flights, what planes you are ticketed on, since smaller commuter jets or prop planes might not have a big enough cargo bay to accommodate your boat.
