How Turkish Airlines treats fishing equipment
With Turkish Airlines, fishing equipment travels in the hold rather than as a long cabin item. One set may include a tackle box, landing net, one properly packed pair of rods and one reel. — Turkish Airlines.
The set may fall within the allowance or attract a route-based sports fee. The airline currently shows “50–180 €* · 850 TRY”. Your final total still depends on the ticket and the flight actually operated. — Turkish Airlines.
Weight, length and dimensions to check
Turkish Airlines publishes ≤ 32 kg for weight and “—” for size. Weigh the closed tube with foam, end caps and everything packed inside. — Turkish 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. — Turkish Airlines.
Declare the tube and navigate bag drop
Add the equipment while buying the ticket or in Manage Booking before online check-in. · SSR At the airport, ask the carrier which desk and deadline apply to the approved special item. Keep a screenshot of the confirmation, particularly when your itinerary includes a connection. — Turkish 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. — Turkish 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. — Turkish Airlines.
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. — Turkish Airlines.
On a codeshare, follow the rule of the carrier operating each segment. Ask for written confirmation when two airlines appear on the ticket. — Turkish Airlines.
Fit for a 145 cm Rodborne tube
Compatibility cannot be guaranteed from the published information. Send the route and exact dimensions to the airline before choosing the tube length. — Turkish Airlines.
