[QUOTE="Kathar1na, post: 816137, member: 15378"] It's nice to exchange views; it's a major component of this forum. However, this thread is mainly about legalities and practicalities of taking stuff with you into the cabin on flights within the EU and more precisely those starting from Madrid airport and ending in Spain or in Portugal, not about personal preferences within these legal and practical frameworks. On a more personal level and since we've probably exhausted the topic already, I can add that I've not been much of a backpacker and tramper throughout my life, unlike you, [USER=51634]@Stuart Smith[/USER], and welcome to the forum, btw 🙂. So let me open a window into a different world for you: that of the Bavarian Alpine walkers. When I was much younger and more impressionable than I am now in my more mature years, it was they who shaped my views. We feel kind of naked or incomplete when we set out without our Swiss Army kind of knives in our backpacks. There were no bars every 500 m in the mountains, and so even today on the Camino we may stop and sit on the grass and peel our apples with the larger one of the two small blades, or cut our bocadillos, especially when we once lost a crown on one of our front teeth when we bit into a bocadillo in that place with the clock tower on the roundabout whose name escapes me at the moment, we like to buy a piece of hard dry local sausage from time to time and need to cut off a few bits for a snack now and then, we cut a Compeed into half with the really tiny pair of scissors because that's the way we use Compeeds now and then ... I could go on. We are used to the way of doing things our way, and it would take a really compelling and convincingly logical argument for us to change our ways. That's why 🙃. Oh, and we know that we could always buy an Opinel upon arrival but we don't want to do that each time we travel because we would consider it as a waste of resources. Not ours. The Earth's. [/QUOTE]
