We are flying fr Santiago to Barcelona. Have checked in baggage. If we secure our telescopic poles (66cm at shortest) to our packs & wrap the pack & poles together with cling-film / plastic wrap - do you think we can check that in with Vueling? Open to suggestions? Thanks

I would probably go to one of those bazaar type stores and buy a cheap bag to put them in to check them in.
 
I think you will be OK; but at the risk of them being damaged. Maybe arrange them so them at they are together but opposed - such that there’s a handle at each if that makes sense. I’d second the ‘China store bag’ option as a better alternative.

Is there the possibility to fit your poles inside your checked in baggage? I have flown with Veuling several times from Santiago to Barcelona using this method with no problems.
 
I’ve heard that isn’t possible to take omboard walking poles. So I’m going to fit them into a sturdy cardboard poster tube, and place my backpack and the tube into an Osprey airporter and check them in together. Hope this helps.

Thanks for all the suggestions. I will use a larger bag & pack it in.
