An umbrella or walking stick.
A reasonable amount of reading material for the flight.

3. What if there is limited space in the cabin for my carry-on bag?

If cabin space is limited, you may be required to check-in your carry-on bag. If this occurs, it is your responsibility to remove all items not suitable for checked baggage.

4. Are there additional fees for excess baggage?

Yes, excess baggage will incur an extra fee per pound and will be considered standby bags.
Airports will charge a $2.00 fee per person. We recommend carrying this amount in cash.

5. How is sports equipment handled?

Surfboards: You can check up to 2 surfboards as part of your free baggage allowance for a fee of US$50 per surfboard each way. If you check them as extra luggage, they will be treated as standby bags. Tips for packing: Remove fins; do not place clothing or other items inside surfboard bags; damaged or insufficiently sturdy packaging is not accepted.
Other sports equipment: If you check sports equipment as part of your regular baggage allowance and another item as excess baggage, the sports equipment will be subject to overweight/oversized baggage charges. You may bring one of the following sports equipment per passenger with an extra fee per pound:
