Du kommer förmodligen inte att kunna skicka dem som incheckat bagage, även som överdimensionerat bagage, men måste istället skicka dem som last, antingen direkt med flygbolaget eller med en operatör som UPS.
Ett par exempel:
Oversized bags

Any items larger than 190cm x 75cm x 65cm (75in x 29.5in x 25.5in)
require separate shipping as cargo.

Length restrictions
The maximum length per piece on jet aircraft is 2 metres however this
may be reduced depending on the width and height of the item. Sporting
items exceeding 2 metres but less than 2.5 metres in length may still
be accepted and are subject to oversized item charges.

If you wish to travel with an
item that exceeds the allowable package dimensions, you will need to
consider making alternative freighting arrangements for this item.
Air New Zealand Cargo, or your local freight forwarder, can advise you
on alternative arrangements. Applicable rates will apply and items
sent via Air New Zealand Cargo or a local freight forwarder may not
necessarily travel on the same aircraft as you due to space
availability. Please remember it is important to prearrange this with
Air New Zealand Cargo or a local freight forwarder at least 5 days in
advance of your travel. There may be occasions when Air New Zealand
Cargo is unable to assist you with the carriage of your oversized item
due to limited cargo space availability to your destination.
Artiklarna i denna längd kan helt enkelt inte passa in i flygplanhållare eller vara omöjliga att lasta / lossa på grund av de relativt små lastdörrarna på passagerarflygplan.
Jag rekommenderar dig:
- Kontakta din leverantör, som måste ha erfarenhet av att skicka båtarna internationellt och borde ha bra råd
- kontakta evenemangsarrangörerna, vem ska också ha erfarenhet av detta och kanske ha specifika erbjudanden med operatörer.
