You can't carry them on anymore (weapons that they are, you know) but you can successfully check them in some type of sport luggage. I use a "board bag" that was designed for a snowboard. A little big, but I cut 2 pieces of foam to fit & cradle the paddle, put a rigid sheet of plastic so it won't try to bend, and stuff gear around it. Has travelled cross-country, multiple leg flights, etc in fine shape. It always ends up at the "oversized baggage" area so it gets special treatment with all the skis and golf clubs etc. Just a thought, Jennifer *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
