Sporting Equipment

Sporting equipment is considered as part of the normal free baggage allowance, regardless of its dimensions (the maximum dimensions of 158 cm may be disregarded), but provided that it does not exceed the other limits of the free baggage allowance (weight per piece and number of pieces). Due to its volume and weight, the number of sporting equipment is restricted, and Croatia Airlines requires to be pre-notified at the time of booking. The acceptance of items exceeding 32 kg and/or 158 cm requires pre-authorization from Croatia Airlines.

The transportation of sporting equipment that is packed separately is charged according to special tariffs if the free baggage allowance is exceeded. For this purpose, Croatia Airlines divides sporting equipment into two categories:

Sporting EquipmentCategory*Charge
Golf, ski, snowboard, water ski, scuba diving, surfboard, wave board,

kite surfboard, boogie board, bodyboard, wakeboard, bicycle, archery,

fishing, weapons & ammunition, parachute, skateboard, tennis,

*If your sporting equipment is listed as NORMAL but exceeds the maximum weight or size for this category, the BIG category charges will apply (e.g. if your kitesurfing equipment weighs 22 kg, but the board is 210 cm long, the charge for BIG sporting equipment applies, even though the kitesurfing equipment is listed as NORMAL, because it exceeds 200 cm in length).
*VAT included.
