I fly with my paddle and all my gear in a ski bag. I wrap my pogies around
the blade, and all the other gear protects the shaft.

I get some interesting comments about flying with ski gear during the
summer. Hehe and when I'm flying, it's not to usual ski destinations
either! Like... Pittsburgh????? Great paddle destination!

If you find anything else as good for flying with - spill the beans!

I fly with my three piece Werner fiberglass take apart paddle
ferquently. i just put it in my backpack wrapped up in clothes etc
and check it.

it has always come out fine and is a pleasure to use as opposed to
rental paddles.

I have a Lendal clip on my Swift paddle.
Last year the paddle went through luggage on Air Canada in a hard
rifle case, No questions...
You see that little allen key that comes with Lendal Paddles and fits
nicely in your wallet? It was confiscated.
It is a tool: Not allowed on the plane, you might steel the ash tray.
No one asked what was in the gun case with my name and an old rank on
it, as well as a Heckler and Koch sticker. Go figure!
Hard shell gun cases work well, they cost about $25 Cdn at Canadian
Tire.
Oh , those deadly allan keys? Geep then in the gun case.
Rifles are no problem either, just lock the case well.
