Flying with Eberlestock Hercules Duffel

[adubeau]

Has anyone flown SouthWest Airlines with the Eberlestock Hercules Duffel - if so were there any issues or over size charges?

Thanks.

Typically it is only an issue (a charge). If it’s overweight. Not size.

Snowboards. Fishing rods and gun cases that aren’t over 50/75 lbs don’t get an extra change.

Problem with big bags is they make you wanna bring more stuff

I’ll be flying with this tomorrow on Southwest. and a big north face duffel

Let me know if you get charged for oversized luggage

Probably no help but I fly united a couple times a month with mine and have never gotten an overage. Pretty easy to go over weight with all that room. I just use a fish scale to check mine at home before I take off and adjust the load accordingly to stay under the 50lbs.

Size of the bag won’t matter… it’s just the weight. Flown a bunch with southwest and only ever care about weight. And if you pick the agent that looks like they are in a good mood, they won’t nail you with the fee. Always gotta scan the agents for the one in a good mood and throw the charm on
