The Best & Worst Airlines for Golfers
POSTED BY Mavy | August 1, 2017
Label: Travel Tips
Golfing holidays are as popular as ever, with world class courses around the world to visit, but getting all of your gear there can be easier said than done.
While some airlines will allow you to take golf bags aboard the aircraft for free, others charge fairly hefty fees.
We found that while 13 of the 25 airlines we looked at allow golf bags to be used as a piece of standard checked luggage, a further 12 required additional fees from £24 (Norwegian) up to £62 (Air Berlin).
Check out the full list below to compare the airlines policies on golf bags for yourself!
