Delta Airlines has announced that beginning May 15, 2002, it will
no longer accept golf clubs as checked luggage unless they are packed
in an approved case. According to the new rules, golf clubs will only
be accepted within a Club Glove case, within a hard shell case with
no existing damage evident on the case, or within a Delta golf box
($10 charge per box). The rules also state that one item of golfing
equipment is accepted as part of a customer's free baggage allowance.
One item of golfing equipment is defined as one or up to all of a
combination of the following: One golf bag containing not more than
14 golf clubs, 12 golf balls and/or one pair of golf shoes. (On a
personal note, I flew Delta on May 16, and was told that other airlines
will probably follow suit, although exactly when has not been determined.)
