That is nothing new. Many airlines that travel through Mexico City Airport do that around the Holiday Season. It sucks for us sports people. |

I am flying pdx to Cabo tomorrow via San Francisco and it applies to me on my return in Dec. Fortunately I can leave my boards in the Baja until I return in the spring. This oversized baggage embargo was a big shock to me, it is not something I would normally check out (until now) before booking a flight. Wouldn't want to go to airport to find I can't check an oversized board bag.
Just wanted to give a heads up to others look before you book. |

Thanks for posting that. Not heard of any such thing. Flying down to Baja on United during that period fortunately my surf board this year has gone ahead. Always fly Alaska when I can but had some miles to use up on United. Try to use United as little as possible, Alaska way more friendly. |

If you or your company are "Known shippers" try the airlines cargo option to your destination. They usually charge by dimension (Alaska Airlines) I've shipped boards , buggies and boxes that way for the same if not less than over sized or third bag. Items were there in the cargo office waiting for me. |

You have my interest. As an individual is there a list of Know shippers available to the public? Shipping to Mexico with in a month or so of December is not going to get easier. With so many Mexicans traveling home for Christmas and The new Mexican Requirement to only allow clothing made in Mexico to be sold there (NPR report), makes bringing clothing from the USA a good deal for them. |
