Whether you\u2019re a surfer, mountain biker, or scuba diver, you may find yourself navigating complicated baggage policies, struggling to to stay within your chosen frequent flier program for a multi-leg trip, or searching for an airline that flies to that niche destination on your bucket list.<br \/><br \/>As Eric Larsen, a polar adventurer based in Crested Butte, Colorado, put it: \u201cI\u2019ve had so many crazy experiences with baggage\u2014baggage check is one of the most stressful aspects of travel for me \u2026 especially when I\u2019m flying solo and I have five or six bags in the airport. Usually, I\u2019m working so hard, I\u2019m sweating.\u201d<br \/><br \/>So how does Larsen manage to keep his cool when he\u2019s lugging polar sleds through the airport on his way to an Arctic expedition?<br \/><br \/>\u201cI try to stick with one airline [alliance] or group so that I accumulate points and status, which not only makes checking in with a lot of bags easier, but it means that my bags are also offloaded first. With \u2018status\u2019 you also get extra bags and even extra heavy bags.\u201d<br \/><br \/>As Larsen suggests, what travelers bound for adventure tourism destinations really need is customization and flexibility, whether it be in their airline\u2019s baggage policies and route map, or their travel insurance provider\u2019s a la carte policy benefits.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-938af63 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"938af63\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f428d74 elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"f428d74\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-863c826 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"863c826\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3ec64ff e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"3ec64ff\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-903a805 px-default elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"903a805\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h1 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">carriers that best suit your needs<\/h1>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-39ea572 px-default elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"39ea572\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>As the leading provider of insurance for travelers going to adventure destinations, battleface ranked the top 25 most adventure friendly airlines to help travelers find the carriers that best suit their needs, looking at adventure destinations served (those best known for adventure sports and activities), baggage policies, alliance membership, and more.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-15bb717 e-con-full px-0 e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"15bb717\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-fca53da e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-child\" data-id=\"fca53da\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-bb07baa e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-child\" data-id=\"bb07baa\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-523ae22 px-default elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"523ae22\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Here\u2019s a peek at the 25 adventure travel airlines that made the list.
