Big simplification of special baggage

The new simplified rules also include all types of special baggage such as skis, golf clubs, bicycles, fishing equipment and musical instruments. The 23 kg weight limit is the only rule that will apply (32 kg in Business Class), provided the type of aircraft has enough physical space.
