Skateboards on a plane?

[nwhysee]

Unfortunately jetblue suspiciously omits any mention on whether or not i can bring a skateboard deck with me on a plane and my email will be in queue for 5-7 business days. It's a gift for a friend and is still in its plastic wrapping, no wheels, bearings etc. To also complicate things the two bags im planning on checking in are two small to fit said deck in. So how have you guys transported your board?

you should be ok.. just dont be an asshole a hold it in your lap

people bring way weirder and more awkward size items than a skateboard deck on a plane. That should fit in overhead no problem or get a big tote bag to throw it in

i've brought mine with me a couple times and never had a problem. and i usually just carry it in my hand. reminds me of an old issue of Big Bro where Dave Carnie couldn't board a plan with his board and then wrote a letter to the company and they sent him back some apologies with stupid ass gift. i know it doesn't sound funny at all, ut it really was, i miss that mag a lot...

i have travelled with a skateboard on planes, never got stopped or called out for it, so i guess it shouldn't be a problem

A couple of times I just checked mine and then a couple of times they made me put it in a box. It really depends on the airline.

i flew to england with my skate strapped in to my backpack a couple years ago and had no trouble...

Some airlines are dicks so I just bubble wrap it with my luggage.

it's a TSA issue not an airline issue. but i've seen kids with boards on flights before.

i was in security behind a deaf man with a hockey stick once. it was awesome. the airline told him it okay was to carry it on. the TSA agent wouldn't let him and couldn't communicate this to him. the TSA guy thought it could be used as a weapon. the deaf man didn't understand this. chaos followed.

I was on a flight with Dave Chapelle from LA to Oakland. He had a skateboard. They didn't fuck w/ him.

Most Airlines have plastic bags at the check-in you can wrap stuff like a skateboard and you can check them with your luggage... Although you should bring a sharpie with you and put all your details on the bag to aviod BS when you get to your destination...

Whatever you do DON'T let the airline clerk stick any stickers directly onto your deck - they are a bitch to take off!

Otherwise check it in as a special transport item, and you can claim your deck at the checkpoint instead of the turnstyle.

wasn't that the cover of one of there videos? shit or crap??? i can't remember...i miss big bro mag used to make me fuckin laugh all the time. Along with Blunt.

Oh and I brought my board to mexico about 7mos. ago and didn't get any trouble at all, it all depends on the airline and the personel your dealing with. If you get someone who's being a dick about it just kinda sweet talk them into understanding how you don't want it to get fucked up underneath the plane and all... they'll probably be sympathetic towards you.
