Please help us out by contacting V Australia to ask them to allow
us to bring our hang gliders from Los Angeles to Sydney (their route) using the
same hang glider pilot friendly policy as Virgin Atlantic. You can contact
customer service here:

"Please support the hang glider pilots who wish to come to the pre-World and
World Championships in Australia in January 2012 and 2013 by implementing the
same policy for carrying hang gliders as Virgin Atlantic as seen here:
http://www.virgin-atlantic.com/us/en/travel-information/baggage/sports-equipment.html.
The Virgin Atlantic policy actually allows hang gliders up to 16' in length and
32 kg."
