Hiking poles and planes

Flying from dublin to santander today i checked in my bag to bring the poles, so did others or sent them ahead. since most of use had 7-8 kg backpacks seemed a waste to checkin just for the poles... But we all could have put the poles in one bag ..

Why not have a thread on those traveling on same plane who want to pool poles/liquids into one bag?
 
The focus is on reducing the risk of failure through being well prepared. 2nd ed.
the odds of multiple, random pilgrims who all read this forum happening to be on the same plane are pretty astronomical. you didn't know any of these people ahead of time?
 
I was thinking of picking up hiking poles (or a single staff) once I get to Lisbon simply to avoid the issue of traveling with them, checked baggage, and uncertainty. Is there any reason this is a bad idea other than not being able to bring poles I already have?

Thanks

Tom
