I bought a magnificent dragon kite in bali, and on the way home cursed making the purchase many times. Firstly in Denpasar the kite went into the cargo hold with a fragile sticker on it. In Sydney i then had to collect it from the fragile items counter which took forever, but surprisingly all of the surf boards, golf clubs and pushers didn't squash my unprotected dragon head. Then it was off to customs where the kite had to be declared because of the bamboo frame. Kite in hand i transferred to domestic flight to Melb where it travelled with me as hand luggage. I have a magnificent kite but would i bother again....NO
