Problems with Parasols at airport security??

[Massagegirl]

Just wondering if anyone had problems with carrying on parasols regarding security?

wow! I didn't think about this...sure hope not!

[*Lo*]

If you put them in your checked bags there will be no chance of a problem

I don't understand, why would parasols pose a problem? I think you're golden!

If you check them, you should be ok...worse come to worst, you could ship them directly to the resort...

Well, alot of my guests dont want to check their bags because of the cost. 3 of these ppl are in the wedding party and I have them bringing their own parasols.....you cannot even bring umbrellas because of the threat of using it as a weapon .... Crazy, I know....but true. Just wondering if anyone was able to carry them on?

From Ireland to the UK i had my umbrella taken away!!! madness!!! cos id checked in at Dublin airport with my umbrella then had a call to say my mum was very very sick i was boarding so ran through the airport out and back to the hospital.

Long story short she got her op that should of taken place 10 days earlier and a week and a half later i flew from home from Shannon airport not Dublin and they took the umbrella away.I explained id checked in at Dublin with it but they wernt having any of it.

I wouldnt risk carrying it if i were you gotta go in the hold x

I didn't even think about the parasols being a problem! I guess I should pack them in the checked luggage to avoid any problems!
