[pct-l] Hiking Poles

[giniajim]

Ski poles are not allow to be carried on.  My guess is that hiking poles would be viewed the same way, but might come down to the individual on duty that day.  Just check 'em.

  Yeah,

  that's one of the biggest complaints..inconsistencies...you may get to carry
  something on board during your initial flight but be refused on the flight
  back home...

  Best to check everything or mail it as you suggested.
