Aeroplanes

[spanishkarl]

I need to go away for a few days, and want to practice my pipe smoking (which my partner still sees as a strange affectation) undisturbed. I will be travelling with hand-luggage only and it is in the EU.
The pipes and tins of tobacco will probably come up on the X-ray, but what I am most worried about is the pipe tool. Are you allowed to take those on board, or am I better off just picking one up at the other end?

I have traveled with a Czech tool attached to a bunch of keys and have not had it confiscated.

International can be tricky because airport policy doesn't translate, but from my experience (now almost 9 years ago) is that security at international airports is more lax than here in the US. A Czech tool should be G2G since it isn't bladed. Just be prepared to explain if anyone asks, and luckily Czech tools are cheap.

Thanks!

Whatever you bring, make it cheap just in case it gets confiscated!
