Describe your experience: I have never had a problem flying with poles on NWA out of
Minneapolis. Last year we had 5 tubes of poles to check for our club
and the schools going. We even got a security escort! ;-) There was
no additional charge on the way to Reno but a $40 charge per bag on
the way back.
