Bulky items
Bulky items (maximum 1.9 meters for Jetstar flights operated by an A320, A321 or B737 aircraft and 2.77 meters for Jetstar flights operated by an A330 aircraft, click here to see the aircraft type by route) including but not limited to bicycles, surfboards, skis, golf clubs, snow boards, may be included within the 20kg allowance, subject to space availability. Please ensure that all bulky items are packed appropriately before being presented at check in. For further information on this click here. Passengers who anticipate having bulky items or excess baggage should arrive at the airport to check in:

perth to bali from what i can find out is A320 not A330??

you would think it would be A330
may have to try and ring them and be on hold for a week

^^^^
that might be because domestic flights are A320 and international flights are A330

Jetstar are the most awkward airline to deal with. In 2008 flew from Sydney to gold coast and return with a 7'10 surfboard no problems either way. Last year same destination but at checked in I was told that the board was to big and it would not be going on aircraft. I told the check in woman that I had travelled with the same board and she said that there was no way it went on the aircraft. I even showed her the sticker from the previous year but to no avail. When asked what I could do her reply was "thats not my problem". I eventually got the board up to the Goldy by courier at $70.00 each way, not happy Jan!!!!. I talked to a Jetsatr supervisor at the Gold coast and she said they have this trouble all the time and it basically comes down to the person on the check in counter. Not a good way to do business or way to treat customers, will not be travelling with them again, next time will fly with Virgin

AirAsia all the way dude

Just dont buy extra luggage weight then pay sporting goods fee!!!
There not the same hahaha lesson learnt

I flew with them a while ago when they just bought in a "sporting goods fee".

We didnt know about that and payed extra so we could check in some luggage (our boards) only to find out surfboards came under the "sporting goods fee" which we had to pay for. So the extra luggage we paid for was a waste of money( we only checked in board bags and a backpack as carry on)

Only had to pay it on the way back though, the person behind the checkin counter in Perth let it slide for the trip over.

There is a weight limit for the surfboards too. Not sure how much it is but I had 3 boards, a towel and a few pairs of shorts/t-shirts and it was OK.

It does pay to read the fine print

Looks to me as though surfboards (Sports Equipment) are $20 from Oz to Indo (max weight 15kg) and 150,000 rups from Indo to Oz
