Silent Posted June 23, 2005 Share Posted June 23, 2005 So I'll be living in Ga soon, about 2 hours away from the ocean *jumps fer joy* but if I would want to go to the PiPF I would still have to fly. This is what im wondering, how do you take swords and guns on the plane? Also when you get there or any gathering/festavel what are the rules about having such things on your person in public? As being a first timer and havent been to any gatherings I'd greatly love to know, since I don't already. Thanks for any help giving, here be one on me.

Captain Charlotte Savvy Posted June 24, 2005 Share Posted June 24, 2005 Your best bet would probably be to make a phone call to the airline, and probably to the airport, too. I bet there's a way to take such things on planes -- probably involves locking up yer gear and having it stowed back in the plane with the rest o' the luggage (though if they let you carry on a pyrate sword, DO tell us about it when you get back!! ) ... most likely, if you call ahead and ask 'em about their policies, they'll be more'n happy to help. That's all I can think of, anyway ... Not bein' a frequent flyer!

Cut-throat Posted June 27, 2005 Share Posted June 27, 2005 If'n ye chose to ship yer gear. DON'T USE U.P.S !!!! Use passenger pidgeons before ye use THEM ! I use to work for em. Trust me, they don't give a $hit about what comes down the conveyor belt. I've seen it with me own eyes. They'll toss it around. They'll drop it, kick it. They'll smash it. Me Grandmother sent herself some ceramic pots while she was in Italy. I was at the house when the U.P.S driver showed up. He rang the bell, an before we could answer the door, he tossed the box 7 feet in the air, over her wrought iron gate and took off. It shattered three o the seven Italian pots....Never use U.P.S !

Mission Posted June 28, 2005 Share Posted June 28, 2005 I second that. UPS managed not only to damage a very expensive chain ring assembly on a bike I shipped (no mean feat in itself), but they also managed to weasel out of paying the true cost of the damage, despite my having fully insured the bike. I bought a hard case and now ship my bikes as luggage on the plane. Package your gear very well if you ship UPS.

Lady Seahawke Posted June 28, 2005 Share Posted June 28, 2005 as far as having them on yer person at a fair (ne'r able to be at PIP yet sigh) but first check the policy of the event yer going to...if'n weapons are allowed, then most oft tis peace bound they need be. Ye can show em, but ne'r pull them. In other words have them bound to their sheath.
