Flying and tenis gear

    Anyone any tricks of the trade for traveling on Aer Lingus / Ryanair with racquets and gear. Have you gotten away with rackets/bag as carry on?

    Can't see a tour bag being allowed as carry on with a few rackets and kit for a day or two. Going to be traveling a bit for comps the next while (not me) and trying to make it as cost effective as possible as checking luggage is a big cost.

    Cheers

    Didn't try it last weekend with Aer Lingus as we checked them cos the bag was too big.

    Ordered a smaller backpack style one and just checked with Ryanair at bag drop to see if we could bring them on with our priority boarding.

    Ryanair classes the rackets a weapons and they had to go in the checked bag. Looks like they will be checked all the time. Far from ideal checking €200+ rackets given the way bags get treated.
