Skates on a plane

[About Time]

Anyone know if you have to put your skates in checked luggage or can you use a skate carrying backpack and have them as carry on?

[waitmichaelwait]

carry on as long as the bag fits in the overhead compartment or under the seat

They don't even need to be on/in the bag. You get one carry on bag and a "special item." ;-)
