Rare RN_Prof Posted March 6 #1 Share Posted March 6 I have a problem with balance and use a rollator when walking and sitting in long lines (like waiting to get on a plane or cruise ship). However, when my back is doing well, I like to hike where the rollator will not work and use hiking poles. We are cruising in Alaska, and my hiking poles do not collapse small enough to fit in my suitcase. Even though I will have my rollator, do you think the airlines will consider my hiking poles a mobility aid and not consider them part of my "carry-on" luggage (I already bring a backpack and a small shoulder bag).

pukekolive Posted March 6 #2 Share Posted March 6 My experience of this on Air New Zealand from New Zealand to Japan in October 2023 was that they did accept my hiking poles as the way I would mobilize in the plane (787-9), and allowed me to stow them in the overhead without collapsing them.
