Traveling with a monofin

[DiverTodd]

Does anyone have any suggestions or advice on flying with a monofin? I'm heading to Ft. Lauderdale next week, and I want to take it with me. However, I'm VERY fearful of it getting damaged, and would want to carry it on. Which, I suspect, will NOT be allowed (US Air). Any tips or info would be greatly appreciated! Thanks,

Todd

A pretty well tested solution is making a "plywood sandwich" in your monobag, and putting your mono in between. Don't have to be that thick. So cut 2 roughly monofin shaped pieces that fit into your bag.

I usually also attach a "fragile - handle with care" sticker on it, but I'm not sure it does anything but provoke them

Sometimes we just put several fins in one bag and they generally seem to arrive in one piece.

However, the best solution I've seen so far was simply using a card board box - I'll have to attach a photo or it doesn't make much sense...

My daughter carried hers on in a plastic bag. They can stow it up by the baby carriages and stuff.
Be advised - the glue or neoprene or something on some fins will set off the explosives sniffers - they just check the fin out and off you go.
