Anyone traveled overseas for diving with their own equipment?
I just want to check, for flights, do you check in your equipment as normal check in luggage or sports equipment?
Airasia has a separate sports equipment luggage fee..
Yes, I do.
Normally I will do normal check in ... cheaper!
But in terms of claiming insurance when your equipment is lost, the "premium" is lower. You unable to claim higher sum.
When u check in as normal but is sport equipment, by laws and their regulation, u shud declare it as sport equipment, so whenever stuff inside spoil/damage /lost, they can said that all sort of reason to minimize their payment back to u or blame u for whatever sorts of reasons.
Anyway, for me, my travel insurance does covers my equipment, so just check in as normal baggage lo (save RM5 for each catergory as per AA standard) ...
