How Transavia treats fishing equipment

With Transavia, fishing equipment travels in the hold rather than as a long cabin item. The set may contain up to three rods, one pair of waders and a tackle case within the dedicated weight limit. — Transavia.

The airline charges a sports-equipment service each way. The airline currently shows “55 €”. Your final total still depends on the ticket and the flight actually operated. — Transavia.

03

Weight, length and dimensions to check

Transavia publishes 15 kg for weight and “165 cm / 300 cm” for size. Weigh the closed tube with foam, end caps and everything packed inside. — Transavia.

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. — Transavia.

04

Declare the tube and navigate bag drop

Register the equipment no later than 72 hours before departure; contact customer service if that window has passed. At the airport, check in at the main desk first, then follow directions to the oversized-baggage belt. Keep a screenshot of the confirmation, particularly when your itinerary includes a connection. — Transavia.

05

Protect the rods and separate accessories

The equipment must be properly packed as one set or in the pieces defined by the rule. Immobilise every rod section, keep guides away from the wall, and label the tube both outside and inside. — Transavia.

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. — Transavia.

06

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. — Transavia.

On a codeshare, follow the rule of the carrier operating each segment. Ask for written confirmation when two airlines appear on the ticket. — Transavia.

07

Fit for a 145 cm Rodborne tube

The benchmark reaches the published 165 cm limit exactly. Extra padding, a handle or rounded measurements can push it over, so confirm the final dimensions. — Transavia.
