Backpacks by air

[Tony Schuster]

I have been curious about the discussion about how to check a backpack for air travel. Maybe I am missing something but my plan is to carry the backpack on the plane and check a box that contains anything that the airlines don't like on the plane. For example, my walking stick and Swiss Army knife. When I get to Madrid, I will move those things to my pack and throw the box away. On returning, I can find a box that will work the return trip since duct tape will improve most boxes to shipping quality.

Is there something in this plan that I am missing? I have not done this before but I have never traveled with a backpack as small as the one for the Camino.
