I was reading the baggage policy for Sun Country and I came across something very strange. It seems to me that Sun Country will allow Skis, Clubs, etc., but not scuba equipment and will assess a fee for showing up to the airport with it. I've never encountered this before, so I assume I'm reading it wrong. (it doesn't help that it is so poorly written)
