What is the best way to transport buggies?
Most airlines have a weight limit of 50 to 70 lb. per bag and allow two bags per person. Be sure to check with your airline for the current limits. There are some dimension restrictions as well. For example, a Libre V-Max buggy, six kites, helmet, pads and tools weighs just about 70 lb. People who typically fly on America West indicate that they have never had problems transporting their buggies as long as they adhered to the weight and size guidelines. Check with your airline before going to the airport. Some travelers put their buggy in one bag and everything else in another one. Remember, you have to haul the buggy through the airport so plan on picking up one of those carts that you rent for a buck to get your gear to and from your rental car. Remember to let all the air out of your tires before you pack your buggy. Fully inflated tires could burst while at 35,000 feet. Bring an air pump or hook up with one of many at the event who has one to lend.
