[Gocamino] Hiking Poles - Stansted Airport UK

[Johnnie Walker]

HolaIf travelling through or from Stansted Airport please note that hiking poles are allowed as carry on luggage or in carry on luggage. A very helpful pilgrim wrote to the airport authorities and received the following reply. If in doubt take a copy with you!"You are seeking confirmation as to whether your walking poles are acceptable in hand luggage.The UK's Department for Transport (DfT) and the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) direct airlines and airports as to what items should be prohibited from being carried in the cabin or hold of an aircraft. UK Airports are now also subject to EU regulations in terms of prohibited items.I am pleased to confirm that European Commission rules (EC300) do in fact allow hiking poles. Therefore since the airport is now subject to those standards rather than the original DfT series of directions, a change to the orders has been made and we are now allowing hiking poles through.I hope my response is helpful and that you will have no issues with taking your hiking poles through security.Yours sincerelyNancy HatchCustomer Insight Team"
