Hiking Poles

Carry On Bags: Yes
Checked Bags: Yes

Blunt-tipped hiking poles are allowed in carry-on or checked bags and must be screened like other property. Sharp-tipped hiking poles are not allowed carry-on items. Please note that even if an item is generally allowed, our officers make the final decision on whether an item is allowed through the checkpoint.

Check with your airline to see if they allow hiking poles as carry-on items.


 The final decision rests with the TSA officer on whether an item is allowed through the checkpoint.
