Airline Baggage Fees

Planning on coming to Maui?
Are you planning on bringing your golf clubs so you can play golf?
Did you know that the majority of the airlines that serve Maui are charging fees for checking extra bags?
Did you know that you can rent brand name golf clubs from Maui Golf Shop and skip the hassle of packing, lugging and now paying to bring your clubs with you?

The major airlines that serve OGG airport on Maui are: American, Continental, Delta, Hawaiian, Northwest, United and US Airways. All but one of these airlines has instituted a "Checked bag fee." Fee's usually range within the $15-$25 area, but some even reach $50 for a second checked bag. The prices listed below are for one way only.

American: $15 for first bag, $25 for second, bags 3-5 $100
Continental: $15 for first bag, $25 for second bag
Delta: No charge for first bag, $50 for second bag, $125 for a third bag and $80 after
Northwest: $15 for first bag, $25 for second bag
United: $15 for first bag, $25 for second bag ($50 after Nov 10) $125 for bags 1-4, 5 or more $250!!!

So, forget the hassle of packing those golf clubs and lugging them to the airport. Forget the fees associated with checking them. Forget trying to shove them into a rental car. Forget having them stored in your hotel room where they just get in the way. And don't worry about discovering that your clubs were broken during the journey. Just stop by our store in Kihei and we can set you up.

P.S. We also do club repair.
