Poles at Santiago airport with Ryan air

[mickcope]

Morning all
When I came through Santiago airport last year we were able to load hiking poles in the hold free of charge with Ryan Air
.
Has anyone used them recently and is this policy still in place
.
Thanks Mick

This was discussed at some length recently. Bottom line is that the airport policy has changed and Ryanair now charge for checked-in poles.

Security won’t let you take them through either. I saw a girl give up her poles to TSA a few weeks ago at Santiago airport.

It's always security, not the airline who decides if something can go in the cabin. Whether or not to charge to put them in the hold is up to the airport.
(And TSA is the name if the agency in the US only)
