Flying with skateboards and scooters (non-motorized only)

BaggageSpecial baggage and sports equipmentSports equipment
  • Only manual or non-electric/non-motorized skateboards and scooters are accepted as checked baggage.
  • If a skateboard fits under the seat, it does not need to be in a bag or covered, but it does have to be stowed with the wheels up so it doesn't roll.
  • If stowed in an overhead bin, a skateboard must be stowed with the wheels up.
  • We recommend that skateboards and scooters be in a bag or have the wheels covered (a plastic bag is acceptable) so as not to damage other articles.
  • Skateboards and scooters will be transported only with a limited release of liability.
  • Skateboards and scooters over 100 pounds in weight and/or 115 inches in total dimensions cannot be checked as baggage.
  • Standard checked bag fees and overweight bag fees apply to skateboards and scooters ski equipment.
  • Oversize fees are waived.
