Airlines, boats and paddles

KmcK has the answer.
I just said that I had been told over the phone that I'd only have to pay for one (which I was) and made a nuisance of myself until that was they caved in. When I only had to pay for one, I then paid for the journey home aswell (this was unnecessary as I had no paddles returning) and I got the Ugandan guy at Entebbe to transfer the boat all the way to Dublin so I avoided all charges that way. Just a few ways of getting around the charges for everyone.

Cool, so the trick is... to break your paddles in Uganda so that you save on flying them home! Deadly!


Thanks for hints and tips guys,
later

get splits and wear them down your pants.

When I flew I went Shannon to London with Aerlingus and Emirates the rest on the way.

In Shannon airport, I gave aerlingus 30 euro to check in my 2 paddles and boat all the way. They dont mind because its another airline taking the weight. Basically most airlines have no problem checking in over weight objects onto another airline's flight.

I was supposed to pay on the way back, but the Emirates messed up my flights so much ( I gave them shit for what they did) they took everything without extra charge.
