My ski blades are sticking out of my suitcase by 5 inches. They are all covered in neoprene and duct tape and the case is secure with the zips right up close either side and a piece of copper wire going through the lock holes on the zips. They are also secured to the clothes straps inside the bag so can't slide out or be pulled out....basically, will the let me put them through check in to get on the plane Saturday :?:

Not a chance. You could try calling the airline in advance asking for advice but it's unlikely.

I guessed as mulch...oh well...I just leave them behind. I got myself a set of atomic redsters hired for when I'm there

What do you reckon if I put them in a tube, 6 inch diameter by 90mm long and put it in as a second piece of hand luggage? It wouldn't be outsize baggage would it?

Real question is why would you ski blades :-)?

Lot of people are very good on blades and can ski them literally everywhere. Blades are often recommended for people who can't figure out how to get out of the back seat. Since blades have no tails to ride, people tend to learn good form fairly quickly:)
