[pct-l] Flying

[Wes Rose]

Brandon,

You almost gotta wonder if it would not be better to ship your essentials to a location here
in California well in advance of your flight to insure that : (a) it doesn't get lost, (b) you don't run into 
a problem with the contents of your luggage, (c) your stuff isn't damaged and or stolen (yes, stuff
gets stolen out of bags at the airport).    You'll be standing there, being molested by TSA employees,
and thinking to yourself, "well, the TSA guy really likes me, but at least my gear will be there when
I arrive".  

Just a thought.

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?
