Fishing-destination access
How Cabo Verde Airlines treats fishing equipment
With Cabo Verde Airlines, 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. — Cabo Verde Airlines.
The airline charges a sports-equipment service each way. The airline currently shows “100 € / 120 € US*”. Your final total still depends on the ticket and the flight actually operated. — Cabo Verde Airlines.
Weight, length and dimensions to check
Cabo Verde Airlines publishes 23–32 kg for weight and “≤ 250 cm” for size. Weigh the closed tube with foam, end caps and everything packed inside. — Cabo Verde Airlines.
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. — Cabo Verde Airlines.
Declare the tube and navigate bag drop
Request and obtain approval at least 24 hours before departure because capacity is limited. 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. — Cabo Verde Airlines.
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. — Cabo Verde Airlines.
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. — Cabo Verde Airlines.
What the published rule does not establish
Cabo Verde Airlines does not publish a complete fishing category from which the applicable price and size can be determined unambiguously. We flag that gap instead of treating the tube as another sports category. — Cabo Verde Airlines.
On a codeshare, follow the rule of the carrier operating each segment. Ask for written confirmation when two airlines appear on the ticket. — Cabo Verde Airlines.
Fit for a 145 cm Rodborne tube
The reference dimensions fall within the published limit. Recheck weight, number of pieces and operating flight before ordering. — Cabo Verde Airlines.
