Book Flights and Add Camping Equipment
If you're looking to book flights and take your camping equipment with you, then you'll be pleased to hear that you've landed on the right page! Booking flights and adding camping equipment to your booking is super easy - follow our step-by-step guide below that shows you exactly how to add Camping Equipment to your booking.
Travelling with Camping Equipment Tips
To prepare yourself for the day you fly with your camping gear, you'll want to ensure that you purchase a top quality travel bag to protect your camping equipment. Here are some tips for travelling with camping equipment.
Direct Flight
If you can, select a direct flight in order to reduce the chance of your camping equipment getting damaged. During connecting flights, your camping equipment will need to be transported onto another aircraft - this means that your camping equipment is more likely to break or get lost.
High-Quality Travel Bag
There is no better investment than investing in a high-quality travel bag! Travel bags especially made for camping equipment are a great way to organise all your camping equipment and protect them from getting damaged.
Personalised baggage
Most importantly don't forget to label your luggage! This will make it easier to identify your baggage if it gets lost. If you have high-quality camping gear you'll want to ensure that you follow all the tips to protect your camping equipment.

Camping Gear Rules: What You Need to Know Before You Fly
Knowing what camping equipment is allowed and what's not is crucial when preparing for your adventure. Airlines and airports have specific rules and regulations in place to ensure safety during air travel. It's essential to check these guidelines well in advance of your journey. Certain types of camping gear, such as fuel canisters, sharp tools, or items with flammable components, may not be allowed in either carry-on or checked baggage. To avoid any last-minute surprises or inconveniences at the airport, we strongly advise travelers to familiarise themselves with these rules. Doing so will help ensure a smooth and hassle-free travel experience, allowing you to focus on the excitement of your camping trip rather than dealing with unexpected issues during security checks or at the gate.
