Qantas Sports Equipment
If you are travelling with sports equipment you can include it as part of your checked baggage allowance, but this is subject to requirements. Each item must be checked in as one piece and you will incur charges for any additional baggage. To add sports equipment to your booking, go to the Qantas website and click manage booking.
If you want to save on excess baggage fees, you can purchase an additional baggage allowance prior to arriving at the airport. This is subject to free baggage allowance being available on your flight.
If you are shipping sports equipment such as surfboards, surf skis and windsurfers (sailboards) you may not be able to count this towards checked baggage and instead will need to send it as freight. Freight charges will apply.
The maximum weight of any piece of checked baggage is 32kg (70lb). All items must be properly and securely packed.
My Baggage – Airline Baggage Alternative
If you are travelling light on your Qantas flight then checking bags into the hold is an easy option, but what if you are travelling with multiple pieces of luggage or if your bags exceed the weight limit? You might be subject to costly fees and end up paying a lot more for your journey than previously anticipated.
Why not use My Baggage? As an airline baggage alternative, we allow you to ship a massive 30kg/66lb suitcase or boxes at low rates from your door to your destination. We also provide fuss-free sports equipment shipping with guaranteed low-rates.
You’ll also have the option to pay extra for even heavier bags if you need to, and what’s more, you can add as many items as you like to your booking.

Fantastic service! I booked for 2 boxes to be sent from Sweden to the UK and was unaware of the wait time for the ToR number application but MyBaggage customer support were so helpful with letting me change my collection date to a later date (replied quickly via email on a Sunday!). Both boxes were collected and delivered safely, bang on time. I only wish I would've sent all my stuff with them instead of splitting it with my checked in bags - the excess weight charge almost cost me the same as the 2 boxes! Would highly recommend to anyone moving abroad or back home.

As a 'My Baggage' Newby I was a little apprehensive about using an alternative courier to collect my sons personal belongings from England to Northern Ireland. I had nothing to worry about as I was so impressed at the speed and and professionalism of this company. I have seen the adverts and good reviews and I have to say it is all true. I would recommend them to anyone wanting to move your students between A and B, as that is my experience. Thank you so much. I have a Canterbury student and I will definitely be using 'My Baggage'

Very smooth process from booking to delivery! We shipped some of our personal belongings from Oman to the UK because our job requires us to travel quite often for extended period of times. We are very happy with the service and will use again for sure!
