Flying with golf clubs to Thailand typically costs 2,000 to 6,000+ THB (USD $55–170) each way, depending on the airline and your ticket class. Some full-service airlines include sports equipment in checked baggage, while budget carriers charge hefty oversized baggage fees. For short trips, renting clubs in Bangkok is often cheaper than the round-trip airline fees.
Here's what airlines typically charge for golf bags on Thailand routes.
Full-Service Airlines
- Thai Airways: Golf bags accepted as checked baggage within standard weight allowance (usually 30kg on economy). No extra fee if within weight limit. Excess baggage charged per kg.
- Singapore Airlines / Cathay Pacific / Emirates: Similar policy — sports equipment counts toward total checked baggage weight. Typically 30kg economy, 40kg business.
- Japan Airlines / ANA: Generally include golf bags within checked luggage allowance on international flights.
Budget Airlines (Higher Fees)
- AirAsia: Sports equipment fee of approximately 350 THB/kg. A typical golf bag weighs 12–18kg, so expect 4,200–6,300 THB each way.
- Thai VietJet: Oversized baggage fees vary, typically 3,000–5,000 THB each way for a golf bag.
- Scoot / Nok Air: Similar range, 2,500–5,000 THB each way.
