Heading to Mauritius in a few weeks time and just trying to work out weights for my luggage.
The web site www.air-austral.com/en/prepare-your-flight/your-baggage/checked-baggage/sports-equipment-on-the-long-haul-network.html
says we have 25kg of checked in luggage but under sporting goods it says we can take a surfboard or windsurf.
Does anyone know if this means a total of 25kg or 25kg plus a surfboard?
Mate i am heading there in a couple of weeks and air Mauritius gave me 30kg luggage but charged an additional $30.00 au for my surf board. i am thinking they will be the same.
I'm heading there on air austral on the 31st July .... 25kg total including board the only thing you get on for free is golf bags and max 20kg of diving gear, but you can pay extra,it doesn't actually say how much per kilo, you will ave email them and find out,but it is a fixed max of 60€ for excess...
With the price of air austral ticket you are still way ahead.
Michel, thats the flight Im on as well
It does have a link on the Air Austral website for prices per kg over the limit.
By memory it was around 6-10 euros per kg
Ive got my gear under 25kg and still have my carry on luggage for clothes.
Cool will try to hook up with you at airport,yeah I'm good weight wise,packed kites bars harness etc in light weight cab kite backpack and clothes in another as carry on + two boards in lightweight travel bag all up 25kg including carry on
Flew over here a couple of weeks ago with Air Austral.
Melb - Sydney was with virgin, but booked with Air Austral. Virgin had to follow Air Austral's baggage policy re golf clubs.
Make sure your "Golf bag" looks like a golf bag and dose not weigh over 30kgs. You will get charged excess over 25kgs for your golf stuff.
I tried a few times to call them and confirm, best they could suggest was printing the baggage policy page from Air Austral.
Soooooo glad I did!!!
Used it every time, Virgin Melb - Syd Air Austral Syd - Reunion, Reunion - Mauritius.
My luggage overall was way over weight, got slugged, but very glad I printed that page!
Also have on you the name of the place you are staying and the contact phone number there for Mauritius customs.
Safe travels ;)
See ya soon Michel!!!!!
