International Travel With Carbon GT/Bamboo GTX

Hello All

First time poster and new to the World of ESK8.

I bought a Carbon GT with AT wheels a few months ago, and am absolutely loving it, so much so I'm about to invest again in the GTX with street wheels to have a dedicated set up for each.

One thing i am thinking about is traveling with it, i often go to Spain and would love to take my board with me. Now i know you cannot travel with the boards(with the battery) on commercial flights. One way i thought of getting round this, is to order a battery pack to be shipped to my friend who lives in Spain, then travel with the board in a MBS mountain board bag on the flight minus the battery pack and then obviously just install when i arrive and then leave that battery there for future trips as i go regularly. Im thinking i should be ok to do this, as there is no reason the flight won't accept the board as the battery is removed.

Would Evolve ship just a battery to Spain? - i suppose i just need to contact them to ask. Anyone see any issues with this?

And anyway I'm very glad to be onboard. I live in North Norfolk so if anyone is from round that way please hit me up! would be great to go for a ride together. Anyway nice one and cheers

Does airlines don’t let u travel with the battery separately in the cargo area?
