Sunwing warning/complaint re. golf clubs

Just a heads up to double check your booking details if you’re flying Sunwing in the near future and bringing golf clubs. When we made our booking and spoke to an agent Nov.16 I said - repeatedly - we would be bringing two checked bags AND golf clubs. But when we got our finalized details the golf bag wasn’t added and, due to volume of requests, would not be accepted. After a lengthy conversation we were able to “trade” one of our two checked bags for the clubs. So even though we paid extra for Elite Plus we are stuck with just one suitcase. Be aware if you show up at the airport with golf clubs (or an oversized bag) that hasn’t been specifically added you won’t be allowed to bring it.
(P.S. the agent I spoke said I could put in a complaint about the situation at sunwingcares.com, which I did. Was supposed to get a reply within 2 business days, but no word. Seems sunwingDOESN’Tcare.com. Guess which company we won’t be booking our next vacation with.)

Everyone seems to once upon a time be a Sunwing client
Emphasis here on ONCE

GOOGLE you’ll see tons of disgruntled pax
And court cases etc

Somehow this Co is still around
Reinventing itself time & time again …
But never getting any better

Sometimes CHEAPEST isn’t a bargain
We will never fly Sunwing again
And we now only travel with mainstream airlines… period

Silver lining in your situation … you only had to give up a suitcase
At least you weren’t subjected to their frequent habit of stranding pax entirely abroad
With little info on how you are supposed to get back to Canada … last minute on your own dime
