Thanks to everyone for their suggestions about how to fly with a 7.5 foot
paddle.
I'm particularly impressed with the idea of putting a paddle, on the
diagonal, into a box.
I think what I'll do is just show up at the gate with the paddle, neatly
boxed (I already have a long box). From most reports I've received it seems
that airline officials will "close their eyes" and let it through with no
extra charge.
I may have my friend who drops me off wait a bit, because if there is a
charge that's high, I do have the option to leave the paddle behind.
Happy paddling (and flying),
Barbara
