Thanks Colin
Excellent report, now i'm really excited (you know that feeling you get when your driving down to the beach, the conditions are perfect and your the first there). Take off in two days time. I have to cram my kit into an oversized board bag, which after speaking to the airline I have pre booked & paid extra for £30. I didn't fancy the thought of paying much larger charges by just turning up on the day.
Has any one got away without paying?
A long time ago I took my kite buggy to Fuerteventura, all but the back axle fitted in to my bag and was 5kg under weight. Because the back axle was too long I put it in a long stunt kite bag and carried it as hand luggage, no one stopped me or even questioned it. Imagine carriyng a 4ft steel bar on to a plane now!
Just an idea, but your report may be useful for others travelling to Lanzarote in the near future, is there a forum for posting location reports?
Cheers, Nige
