Oh my. This tricky equipment business is a bit much. If distance walking (including los caminos) becomes more popular (post-covid) with any luck, there may be some demand for the airlines to re-think the silliness.- gayeh

Thanks Faye. This time around I don't have to worry as will check all deemed dangerous items. Unfortunately, I prefer regular manicure scissors but may (likely) need to factor in other options in future so this is good idea re rounded end type.- gayeh

This is what I am hoping for. Someone in this strand I believe suggested writing to BA and getting it in writing that they will check them for at no extra cost. (?)- gayeh

Thanks very much. This is pretty clear. 'Wing it' or else .... the Canadian Airline Security (CATSA) just told me an unequivocal 'no' to any trekking pole (over the phone) but my airline (BA) might take them for me as not checking any other other baggage (?) ... Thanks especially for Santiago...- gayeh

Bored walking
Yes I can relate to feeling bored with same home city river walks. There are others to explore however they involve travelling longer distances.
