lektuvu keliauti pasaulyje darosi nefain, raso vaikinai is anglijos.
Tipo BA uzdraude oficialiai visus windsurfingo irenginius inesti i lektuva, o canadian airlines ir kitesurfingo lentas (apie tai raso kitas bichas)
dar pastebi kad kai vienas durnius sugalvoja, kiti greit seka is paskos.
trecias pastebi kad snowboardai yra tarp tu dvieju, bet niekas nekalba apie draudima.
zemiau textai. Ka manot?
LONDON (Reuters) - The British Surfing Association hopes to persuade British Airways to reverse a ban on taking surfboards on its flights. Delegates from the group are poised to hand in a petition of 8,000 signatures to the carrier's London headquarters on Tuesday -- the day the ban is due to come into force.
BRITISH AIRWAYS TO BAN WINDSURFING KIT
BA has made an announcement on its website that from 6 November 2007 they will no longer carry certain items of sporting equipment - including windsurfers.
Here's what they say:
Sporting equipment we do not carry (effective from 6 November 2007)
Due to the large size and handling complexities, some sporting equipment cannot be accommodated through the airport baggage system or within the aircraft hold. Therefore we no longer accept the following equipment at check-in as part of your sporting equipment allowance.

Please contact your local freight company to arrange carriage for any items that exceed the permitted weight and size.

This is serious stuff, as if other airlines follow suit we could be in for trouble.
So, what can we do? Well, the first thing to do is make our voices heard and let BA know what we think by dropping them a line.
