How Air Seychelles treats fishing equipment
With Air Seychelles, fishing equipment travels in the hold rather than as a long cabin item. Rods, reel, landing net, boots and tackle box must be packed together as one package. — Air Seychelles.
The set may replace an included checked bag; extra-bag charges apply once the allowance is exceeded. The airline currently shows “0 $* / 8–15 $/kg”. Your final total still depends on the ticket and the flight actually operated. — Air Seychelles.
Weight, length and dimensions to check
Air Seychelles publishes 23–40 kg · 32 kg max. for weight and “≤ 90 × 75 × 43 cm” for size. Weigh the closed tube with foam, end caps and everything packed inside. — Air Seychelles.
Our 145 × Ø10 cm benchmark equals roughly 165 cm when length, width and height are added together. Do not confuse this total with a length-only limit. — Air Seychelles.
Declare the tube and navigate bag drop
No advance reservation is required for the published fishing set. At the airport, check the tube at the desk as the baggage item shown in your booking. Keep a screenshot of the confirmation, particularly when your itinerary includes a connection. — Air Seychelles.
Protect the rods and separate accessories
Use genuinely protective packaging or, for baggage-handling impacts, preferably a rigid tube. Immobilise every rod section, keep guides away from the wall, and label the tube both outside and inside. — Air Seychelles.
Pack hooks, knives, pliers and tools securely in checked baggage. For an electric reel, lithium battery or CO₂ cartridge, separately check the dangerous-goods rules of both airline and airport. — Air Seychelles.
What the published rule does not establish
The airline publishes a reasonably specific fishing rule, but acceptance still depends on hold space, aircraft and operating carrier. Meeting a dimension is not automatic boarding approval. — Air Seychelles.
On a codeshare, follow the rule of the carrier operating each segment. Ask for written confirmation when two airlines appear on the ticket. — Air Seychelles.
Fit for a 145 cm Rodborne tube
The 145 cm reference tube exceeds the published limit. Choose a shorter length or obtain written approval from the airline before ordering. — Air Seychelles.
