Transporting your trophy home on the airlines has always been something of a hassle, but now it is getting more expensive.
US Airways has announced the doubling of fees for transporting your trophies — to $200 per set of antlers each way.
Checked luggage? That fee’s bad enough, but $200 one way for antlers is a little much.
Here are the new rules:
Dimension (H + W + L) must not exceed 120 in/305 cm
On the CRJ aircraft the largest dimension cannot exceed 33 in/84 cm and the overall dimensions cannot exceed 99 in/252 cm
On the Dash 8 aircraft the largest dimension cannot exceed 50 in/127 cm
Head/skull must be completely clean and free of residue
Points must be covered and protected
One rack per ticketed customer
Can’t combine or cradle two or more racks
