Air Travel with Skates Figure Skater's Website www.sk8stuff.com [Home] [Contact Us] // [Basic Ref] [Recognize] [Rules] [Clubs] [Caln] [Comps] [] [Synch] [School] [Officials] [Connect] [Vendors] Air Travel with Skates?? Traditionally, skaters usually transport their skates as carry-on items when traveling by air.  The additional security restrictions imposed after the 9/11 tragedy have made this ability uncertain for most skaters.  Apparently the sharp blades are considered too "knife-like" by most carriers and they are telling their passengers that they may not be carried on. If you are planning to travel with your skates, you should check in advance with your carrier to see what they say, but I think that even if I was told it was ok, I'd still half-expect someone at the gate to tell me otherwise. The reason most skaters carry on their skates is because they are concerned that they might become lost or delayed if they are checked.  A 24-hour delay in getting your luggage might not be real serious if you're just visiting Aunt Matilda, but it would be a real problem if you arrive 20 hours before you're supposed to skate at Regionals...  So what can you do to minimize the possibility of errors if you DO check your skates? If anybody has any good suggestions, email them to me and I'll post them here.  For starters though, this is what I would do. I would wrap them well to protect them against bumps and bangs during handling.  I might even put them in hard guards instead of soakers for the duration of the flight (after making SURE they were real dry first...).   I'd put them in a suitcase that is unique and very identifiable.  I'd mark it loudly with my name and some obvious & unique markings to minimize the possibility that anyone would mistakenly grab it off the conveyor because it looked like theirs (I'd use colored tape to make a pattern of stripes or a big X on the sides).   I'd make sure to put a tag on the bag that has a phone number that could reach me AT MY DESTINATION (a cellphone or a hotel number).  And I'd note on the tag that the number was good for the dates I'd be there (i.e. "Oct 1-Oct 6 2001 I may be reached at 810-555-1212"). When checking the bag, stay until you see the check-in person put the destination tag on the bag, and make sure it says the right destination (thanks, Gretchen Bosselman)  And finally, I'd make real sure to keep the little numbered check tags to help track it if it does get misplaced. Any other good ideas??? I've had several suggestions from people (thank you everyone!!!) See if the airlines will allow you to "gate" check the bag containing your skates, that way they remain in your possession until you board the plane and you may be able to collect them upon arrival at the gate. (i.e. baby strollers).  (Jim Achtenberg notes that a potential difficulty associated with this idea is that you still have to get them past the concourse x-ray inspectors) A LOT of people say that they're finding someone from their club who is driving instead of flying, and giving their skates to them for the trip. (A good idea, but I think I'd be more comfortable checking them - the whole reason for not wanting to check them is that I wouldn't want them "out of my control" for the duration of the flight.  Is it better to put them into a car, even with a good friend, for many hours on a freeway?  Its a lot of responsibility to place on that driver too.  I'd hate to be them and end up with car trouble about halfway and not be able to continue...) Several have suggested Fed-Ex or equivalent shippers.  Be careful about sending these to your hotel; though - especially if they might get there before you do.  Lisa Hannukainen suggests that you could probably have FedEx or UPS hold them at their receiving center for pickup - be sure to find out where the center is though...  (she also says that UPS Overnight is cheaper than FedEx)  My personal favorite, Kathy R suggested maybe you could WEAR them onto the plane...     :-)   Updated: 25 Feb 2004 [Site Map] [Contact Us] [Privacy Policy]   [Home] All original content is Copyright 2004 by the Figure Skater's Website.
