Travelling from Oslo to Amsterdam, only hand baggage and not checking in any bags. Has anyone tried, or been able to take ice spikes past airport security in their hand baggage? Don’t want to get them confiscated.. is it stated as allowed or advised not to anywhere? They are pretty sharp.

Yeah should be fine. Might just have to show them. It would maybe be more questionable in the summertimes
I too am curious so I’ll check back later to see what people that have travelled with spikes say. For me it has always been in a checked bag.
Sorry, but why would you travel with those in hand luggage? Wouldn’t you need more gear to use wherever you are using those?
This question has been asked several times. So try to do a search to get old pists.
No problem, I travelled twice a week with them in my backpack during the previous winter. No questions asked.
You’re allowed with blades up to 6 cm, so im sure these would be fine.
All flights to Amsterdam are getting cancelled. Check your flight status please.
Avinor lists crampons as not allowed in hand luggage, although a lot of people report that they were able to take them through security. Probably depends on the type of crampons. [source](https://www.avinor.no/en/practical-info/baggage-rules/)
I’ve been able to get them through security in my carryon on domestic flights in Norway. Haven’t actually tried international, as I don’t have much use for them in Florida.
Wishful thinking you’re actually gonna go to Amsterdam. I’ve trying since sunday and got rebooked on a flight leaving… sunday
Good question, I only had to take mine back home when I moved back to the US, which I did in checked luggage. Honestly, if they ask just explain what they are, maybe put them on your boots if asked. If you were going to the US I would say hell no, get a checked bag, but in my experience Euro travel security agencies tend to actually be a bit reasonable unlike the TSA in the USA
Are those really necessary in Amsterdam? Only old ladies wear those, even in Norway.
