Skateboarding is a great way to get around, but what do you do when you need to travel by plane? Here are a few tips on how to bring your skateboard with you on your next flight.
How to bring a skateboard on a plane
First, it’s important to choose the right bag for your skateboard. You’ll want something that is durable and will protect your board from any damage during transit. A good bag will also have plenty of space for other items like clothes or shoes.
Once you’ve got the perfect bag, make sure to pack your skateboard securely inside. You don’t want it bouncing around during the flight and risking damage. If possible, try to put it in a spot where it won’t be disturbed too much.
When going through security, it’s important to follow all the rules. This means taking your shoes off and sending them through the x-ray machine separately. Your skateboard will also need to go through the x-ray machine, so be sure to put it on the conveyor belt correctly.
Finally, when you’re boarding the plane, be sure to keep your skateboard with you at all times. It’s best to keep it in a backpack or under your seat so you can keep an eye on it during the flight.
With these tips, you’ll be able to bring your skateboard with you wherever you go!
