There's a lot of information on the Iberia website regarding sports equipment, but it falls short of actually telling you how much they are going to charge. Therefore we've asked them and will update when we get an answer. Here's the website text:
"Surfing equipment consists exclusively of a board. Windsurfing equipment comprises a board, a boom, a centreboard, a mast and a sail.
COSTS:
Excess luggage
Under the weight system:
Equipment of this kind will always be checked in as excess luggage, regardless of the allowance to which passengers are entitled. Irrespective of the actual weight of the equipment, the following standard weight table will apply:
Windsurfing equipment 35 kgs.
Surfboard 20 Kgs.
Other components (sail, etc.) 15 Kgs.
Kiteboard * 20 Kgs.
* Kiteboard equipment consists of a board and a parachute.
Under the piece system:
As in the previous point, excess luggage charges will always be applied, regardless of the allowance to which passengers are entitled.
The following will apply:
Windsurfing equipment 4 charges
Surfboard 2 charges
Other components (sail, etc.) 2 charges
Kiteboard * 2 charges
[We asked them to confirm how much passengers will actually be charged and they told us the following - do note that they intend to update these charges on october 1st and hopefully the new policy will be a bit more simple - "Carrying windsurf and surfboards is considered as extra luggage that passengers have to pay in advance or just arriving at the airport. Costs:
Windsurf equipment: 35 kg / 4 charges
Board: 20 kg / 2 charges
Kitesurf Board equipment: 20 kg
Others: 15 kg
1kg = 1,5% over one way tourist class (Y)
This is not available to America, Brasil or Canada, paying from 90 to 130 euros each charge.
Costs will be updated on October 1st. "

let everyone know by rating it and leaving a report here. Some airlines
don't apply (or even know) their own kit policies so it's useful to see
other people's experiences flying with them …
