TAP and the Azores travel allowances

Competitors are reminded about the travel sponsorship provided by TAP for their trip to the World Championships in the Azores. Only by flying with TAP can you be assured of the baggage allowance deal; and it is necessary to fly from main hubs with TAP, on the planes big enough to carry lots of equipment. The details were published via the travel link in the Notice of Race.

IMPORTANT - you must travel on a Monday or a Thursday to take advantage of the TAP sponsorship and the excess baggage deal offered below.

In addition to the personal luggage allowance your first two equipment bags go FREE OF CHARGE; any additional bags will be charged at 50% of the published rate (this amounts to 100 euro per additional bag). You are reminded that each bag must weigh no more than 32kg.
