Hellow from Bulgaria

[Velichka Kardjeva]

Hellow to everyone,
I am new in this site and forum and new in freediving and spearfishing. By chance I am going to travel to Spain and Portugal in August and would like to take my freedive equipment and my speargun with me by airplane. I would like to ask if sombady has info how to travel with my equipment? Is there extracharge by the air plain companies for that equipment? Where have to give my fins and speargun, as a hand luggage or main luggage. And do I need a permit for Spain and Portugal for spearfishing?
Thank you in advance for the answers,
Velichka

A couple of old threads on airplane travel with spearguns:

Most security these days will require you to check the speargun in the hold.
