 Poster: A snowHead
|
So not skiing, but im going to do a hut to hut walk later in the year.
Walking poles are clearly banned from carry on and i don't want to risk it so my question is how do i check them in?
I don't want to check anything else in because if it doesn't arrive it writes the holiday off.
Do I just tape them together and send them like that or will I need some sort of bag, which i'd like to avoid because of its weight? Any other tips or ideas?

Bubblewrap? Or hire some when you get there?

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Can believe it's worth paying for hold luggage over the cost of buying a cheapie pair.

Having had a cheap pair collapse on me on an early start (2:30am I think), I'm not sure I would buy a cheap pair -- because if they break, that would really write the holiday off! I've done several trips with EasyJet since Covid, no issues with hold baggage at all.

@hobbiteater, Tick the box on your booking for "Mobility Support" and then they are your walking aids. Simples.

Thanks all!!!
Can't post them as first night is in a hutte and really don't want to have to find a show and buy some, I have some so that seems like a waste or very least more of a faff to sell on.
I'm on swiss to ZRH, the bag was about £50 return, doubt I'd find a pair of poles in the airport for that, I did look.
Bubble wrap is a good shout.
They are collapsing but hiking poles are explicitly banned from carry on.

@hobbiteater, Obvs you'll have to carry the bubblewrap with you on your walk for your return trip.

You know it makes sense.

Or just carry a tiny roll of sellotape and wrap the poles in a carrier bag (obtained abroad) after the trip.
