All fishing rods must be transported as checked baggage in the cargo hold. The fishing rods must be well packed and it is recommended to use a hard plastic case (rod tube). Allowed fishing equipment includes one box of fishing hooks, fishing vest, and the number of fishing rods that fit in the case (rod tube). The price is the same as for one extra piece of baggage. See the price table further down the page. Soft and unpadded cases are not accepted as they do not withstand shocks or shaking.
 

Fish and seafood normally contain salt, which in case of leakage can damage other baggage and cause serious corrosion damage to the aircraft:

• These shipments must therefore be packed in a combination packaging, for example with an inner and outer layer of absorbent material
   

Widerøe defines combination packaging as:

• Inner layer of polystyrene (Styrofoam), and
• Outer layer of plastic-coated sturdy cardboard or plastic box
• For example: AIRENA 6450/20kg or plastic-wrapped Styrofoam boxes 7839/20kg
   

The following packaging or equivalent is not permitted:

• Expanded polyester
• Plastic bags
• Garbage bags
• Diving bag
• Bag
• Handbag
• Packing box
• Cardboard box without plastic wrap

Widerøe is not financially responsible for loss or delay in connection with the shipment of fish and other perishable food items. Fish and other perishable food items must be packed as described above.

Weapons cannot be part of your included baggage and must be paid for regardless. If you have a ticket that does not include checked baggage, you can send weapons as 2 pieces and pay for special baggage. Precautions when travelling with hunting and sports weapons:

• The weapon must always be presented voluntarily at check-in.
• The passenger must show a valid weapons licence and verbally confirm that the weapon is not loaded.
• Norwegian Home Guard personnel travelling with weapons must identify themselves as Home Guard military personnel with permission to carry the weapon.
• The bolt (for shotguns: fore-end)/firing mechanism and ammunition must be packed and sent separately from the rest of the weapon.
• Ammunition is considered dangerous goods and must be in the original packaging, or equivalent packaging where the cartridges are protected against friction, hard shocks or can come loose. Maximum 5 kilos per package and per person is accepted. Loose cartridges are not allowed. Ammunition must not be packed in the same piece of baggage as the weapon.
• Prices for special baggage can be found here.

Weapons to/from the UK

It is required to have a valid visitor permit to bring weapons to the United Kingdom. It is important to apply as early as possible as processing times are long. Without a valid visitor permit, fines will be issued and weapons confiscated.
