  1. any reason why i cannot take some tools on the plane if they are not sharp? anyone flown BA and carried a socket set and allen keys in their hand luggage?
     
  2. Ahh well I had my torque wrench and Allen keys taken off me at Heathrow when we were flying out for a mountain bike trip..
    They think you are going to play Mechano with the plane FFS..
    I got them back when I returned home and had to send off for them..

  6. @RC1
    They really do, since 9/11, had my cycle tools sacrificed at Manchester airport on my to Lanzarote for an event. It's so you can't 'attack' the pilots cabin door I was told.....

    Put simply should they find them when they x ray you forfeit them. They used to bag them separately but not certain they do now and last time I flew with tools I put them in with my bike. Fairly sure even something as basic as a non bladed leatherman type tool gets confiscated.

    Annoyingly also my CO2 canisters but they're fine for a life vest in the cabin and then to deflate my cycle tyres. I did genuinely ask if the pilot did the same to the aircraft tyres once airborne but was met with a blank expression.

  17. is he your 'spares' guy? :upyeah::upyeah:
     
  18. Looking for recommendations of somewhere to stay the Sunday night.
    We check out of hotel in Rimini Sunday morning before heading to circuit.
    Somewhere near by the Rossi town as doesn’t look like anywhere there to stay
     
  19. No he just carries all my luggage around for me.

  20. Might be tricky trying to find somewhere Sunday night as most people bug out on Monday morning. Have you tried AirBNB? Hotel La Nidiola has a twin room for £50 for tomorrow night on Booking.com. only one left, or just search for hotels in Riccione on their website, as there are a few.
