darrensmith Posted April 28, 2009 Report Share Posted April 28, 2009 Hi guys, I and 7 mates are off to Nash lake on the 15 may , we've been trying to find out about the hand luggage rules.... Does anyone know if we can take our reels in hand luggage or do they have to go in the hold If they can go as hand luggage do the spools with the very dangerous, life threatening line have to be took off and put in the hold... I know all terminal tackle with knifes hooks etc have to go in the hold which i fully appreciate but we have some concern about the reels being slung about on and off the plane...... Please put my mind at ease, Cheers, Darren Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
berny Posted April 28, 2009 Report Share Posted April 28, 2009 Hi Darren, You will be ok taking your reels as hand luggage so long as you put the spools in your main hold luggage. All the best Berny and Gordon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the best Berny and Gordon Why are you not allowed to put your spools in your bag? is it something to do with the line and tying people up?

Similar reason you can't take lead weights on cos you could put them in a sock and knock someones head off....! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darrensmith Posted April 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2009 One of the lads is of the larger kind and i'm a bit concerned they may put a charge on for his backside being a seat and a half wide....! They charge you to take a leak on the plane but as we are all truck drivers we will all p up the wheel before take off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
