What is the Aer Lingus baggage policy for sporting equipment?

Aer Lingus allows passengers to transport various sporting equipment, with some limitations and fees. For golfers, one set of clubs, balls, and a pair of shoes are included within the standard checked baggage allowance. Bicycles, meanwhile, require prior notification and need to be packed in a bike bag/box, meeting specified size and weight limits. Additional charges may apply. If you wish to travel with other large sports equipment such as surfboards, skis, or fishing gear, they can be accepted as part of your checked baggage allowance, upon meeting the size and weight restrictions. Aer Lingus also offers an option to purchase a Sports Equipment Special baggage allowance, which allows additional items or sporting gear beyond standard allowances. It is advisable to review the specific guidelines and contact the airline for further assistance or fees associated with transporting sporting equipment.
