[pct-l] Flying

[Brandon McGinnity]

So, I've only flown once in my life, don't know much about it. In this
specific case, what do I do with my hiking poles? I was hoping to do a carry
on so I don't have to check my bag (I'm afraid of it getting lost or
something). But I don't imagine they'll let me on the plane with trekking
poles.  Or my pocket knife for that matter...

well, i guess I answered my own question there. No carry ons for me.

Any other tips that might be useful for flying/checking my pack? how much
does it usually run to check a bag, by the way?
