Question 1

Can I take my sports equipment with me at Eurowings?

Accepted Answer

You can book large pieces of sports equipment such as bicycles (except e-bikes), skis and surfboards online up to before web check-in closes before departure, either at the time of booking the flight or at a later date. There must be sufficient storage space available on the plane.
Of course, you can also book your equipment onto the plane by phoning our call centre.

Sport guns

If you would like to travel with sport guns, please contact our call centre. Online reservation is not possible.

Bicycle

Bicycles can be carried, provided they are packed in a protective box or bag specifically designed for transporting bicycles. Please note that cardboard boxes and bicycle bags with a soft covering are only permissible if they are insulated with protective inner packaging material or fabric padding.

The handlebars must be arranged parallel to the frame, pedals and any other protruding parts must be removed, and the air pressure in the tyres must be reduced.

We cannot carry e-bikes due to their battery drive systems.

Bodyboards and surfboards

Bodyboards and surfboards can be transported in a protective bag.

Ski/Snowboard

Ski or snowboard equipment (including accessories such as poles and ski/snowboard boots) can be carried up to a maximum weight of 32kg and packed in a maximum of 2 pieces of baggage per passenger (e.g. 1 ski bag and 1 ski boot bag).

Charges

A charge may apply for the transportation of sports equipment. You can find out if a charge will be applied and how much it will cost here.

Note:

All regulations apply to Eurowings flights with an EW flight number, regardless of the operating airline.

If you have booked your Eurowings flight with one of our partner airlines or in a travel agency, you can of course still bring your sports equipment with you. More information on this can be obtained from the relevant airline or from your travel agency.

Question 2

How can bulky items be transported at Eurowings?

Accepted Answer

If you are unable to pack your baggage in a compact container, it must be checked in as oversize baggage. As long as such baggage does not exceed a weight of 23 kg it can be treated as normal baggage, and therefore only the standard surcharge will be applied. You may take a maximum of 5 items of baggage weighing no more than 32 kg per person.

If your oversize baggage exceeds a weight of 23 kg, a charge will be applied.

Please note that special conditions apply for sports equipment, wheelchairs and pushchairs.

Question 3

How can I check in sports equipment free of charge?

Accepted Answer

While every passenger must pay a surcharge for larger sports equipment items such as bicycles or surfboards, this service is free for Eurowings credit card holders and their companions – provided they have booked their flight online and paid for it with a Eurowings credit card.

Any subsequent booking of transport for sports equipment is also free of charge, subject to the same conditions. However, this subsequent booking must be made with the same Eurowings credit card.
