But then something so surreal pops up, I can't help but laugh. While reviewing Northwest Airlines' luggage policy, we came across this little beauty:
"Northwest accepts antlers retained as hunting trophies as checked luggage only and only for travel within/between US/PR/VI/CA. A fee of $100 USD/CAD each-way per animal rack/antler will apply. Animal racks/antlers are not included as part of the free baggage allowance.
Northwest does not accept liability for loss, damage, or delay of antlers. Excess valuation insurance may not be purchased for transport of antlers."
What a foreign concept! My biggest quandary is how to stuff a hair dryer most economically into my carry-on, but somewhere out there, some avid hunter is attempting to transport a 13-point buck home to his wood-paneled den. And Northwest is not liable if Bambi downsizes to an 8-point in the process.
I pray I'll get to see a pair of mounted antlers perched atop some Samsonite, rolling through the terminal on Sunday. I think my life would finally be complete.

Love it! There is, at the airport, another interesting display of items that cannot be transported on the flight. Among them? A chainsaw. Why??
Other items. The gas can, including gas for the chainsaw, self-inflating life jackets, and self-heating meals.
Though the airline may only be referring to checked items because a chainsaw would fit under the seat.
Good luck to you LP.
