Yeah, I've no intention of trying to get them into the cabin! They're 10.5 inch blades with a spiked bit at the front - I think that's a definite no from most security people! Was just more concerned that they couldn't be taken in the hold.
I'll be away for about 3 nights so will pack clothes into a carry on and check the skates.
No offence caused either, wiggy, skating isn't as big a thing here as it is in the USA
