Excess baggage charges for bikes are an expensive nightmare of the past for Challenge athletes travelling to and from New Zealand with the announcement of a partnership between Challenge Wanaka and leading airline, Emirates.
"We’re delighted to be working with Emirates and this partnership will save Challenge Wanaka athletes hundreds of dollars in excess baggage costs," said Race Director Victoria Murray-Orr.
"Challenge Wanaka is globally renowned as one of the world’s most scenic triathlons and partnering with Emirates makes it even more accessible to international athletes, further promoting New Zealand’s position as a world-class sports tourism destination."
Winner of numerous awards, Emirates believes supporting events such as Challenge Wanaka is one of the best ways to connect with its passengers, allowing the airline to share and support their interests and build a closer relationship with them.
To qualify for the increased baggage allowance, athletes must book through the Challenge Wanaka’s official travel agent partner, United Travel Wanaka at fiona@unitedtravel.co.nz or by calling +64 3 443 7414. Special conditions apply.
