frexpt Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 Has anyone experience of taking walking sticks onto Ryanair flights? My wife has recently started using one and is travelling with RA next month.Given how pedantic the airline can be, I was wondering whether there was anything we needed to be aware of?

NormanH Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 I took one with me on the last flight, and put it in the overhead locker, but that was about 3 years ago, so times might have changed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frexpt Posted March 21, 2012 Author Share Posted March 21, 2012 Thanks for that. I did find a similar post on here from 2008 and there certainly wasn't any problem then.But, as we know, things do change and, although I am not anticipating a problem, it would be interesting to hear from anyone who has travelled very recently.

Pickles Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 I have seen people get onto Ryanair flights with walking sticks and crutches in the last few months. Please note that these have always been "blunt"-ended sticks: hiking poles and ski poles (which tend to have sharp lower ends) are specifically banned from the cabin under Ryanair's Ts and Cs.

andyh4 Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 Reading the RA T&Cs I am not sure whether such a person would have to preregister as a person wih reduced mobility.They certainly do not make it easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
