Re: [Harp-L] plane travel with tools

AND.. if you DO check your bag and have NO carry on, they will call out your name and pull you aside AT the gate JUST to make sure you ARE getting on the plane. When you check a bag and have NO carry on, they must assume that you are sending something bad and then NOT flying. It happens to me...all the time.

I had to take all my knives and phoned the airline to see if I could take them as hand luggage, they said it would be fine as long as I securely taped every knife individually. And I mean really tape them!! I don't know if they will accept this in America but its worth phoning the airline and asking .
