Travelling with Hockey Equipment
Tips
To prepare yourself for the day you travel with your hockey equipment, you'll want to ensure that you purchase a high-quality travel bag to protect your hockey equipment. Here are some tips for travelling with hockey equipment.
Direct Flight
We recommend that you purchase a non-stop flight when transporting hockey equipment as it minimizes the risk from it gettinng damaged. When flying a connecting flight you hockey equipment will need to be carried onto another aircraft, meaning that it's more likely to get damaged.
High Quality Travel Bag
We suggest that you make an investment in a high-quality travel bag if you intend to bring your hockey gear with you. Hockey equipment travel bags are the ideal way to organise all of your equipment and keep it safe from damage during travels.
Personalised baggage
We also recommend that you label your baggage in case it goes missing. Hockey equipment can be expensive so labelling your baggage and following all the tips from above can reduce the risk of you losing/damaging your hockey gear.
