自分の板を先に送る価値はある？オーストラリアからの送料と、航空会社の預け入れ料金を徹底比較。
The "Airport Haul" Headache You’re standing at the Jetstar check-in counter in Sydney. Your ski bag is 195cm long and weighs 22kg. The staff member looks at you and says, "That's another $150 for oversized baggage." Carrying your own gear is a logistics nightmare. But is shipping it better? At JapanSnowWatch, we’ve crunched the numbers for our Australian readers. --- 1. AusPost / Courier (The "Hands-Free" Dream) The Cost: Shipping a 20kg ski bag from Melbourne to Sapporo via Australia Post or DHL will cost between $350 and $500 AUD. The Time: It takes 7-14 days. You have to send it well before you even pack your clothes. The Pro: You walk through the airport with just a backpack. No oversized queues.
The Con: It is prohibitively expensive for a single trip. 2. Airline Check-In (The "Standard" Way) The Cost: Qantas/JAL: Usually included in your 30kg-46kg allowance. $0 extra. Jetstar: You must pre-book "Oversized Baggage" (usually $25-$50 per leg). The Pro: Your gear is always with you. The Con: You have to haul it from Narita to the train, then onto the bus. 3. The "Hybrid" Hack (Yuki’s Favorite) This is the secret weapon for regular travelers. 1. Bring it on the plane to Japan (Narita/Haneda).
2. Immediately go to the Yamato Transport (Takkyubin) counter at the airport. 3. Pay $30 AUD to have them ship it to your hotel in Niseko or Hakuba. 4. Travel to your resort on the bullet train with just your handbag. --- Shipping directly from Australia is too expensive. The "Hybrid" Hack is the winner. It combines the low cost of airline baggage with the luxury of not touching your heavy bags until you reach your room.
