Tennis Racket on airplanes ??

Question

Okay .. So i am in dubai at the momment and i am planning on buying a bablot tennis racket . I will will be traveling back to Newzealand on Friday . and i was just wondering if i pack the racket in my suitcase will the air pressure mess around with its strings ??

And if it does mess with the strings, does it make a difference if i carry it as hand luggage ??

Answer 1

I've travelled with my raquet for the last 4 years, and havent really noticed anything wrong with my strings

i dont think its a problem

Answer 2

no i don't think it will mess yur strings

Answer 3

The pressurization changes whle flying or otherise should have no effect on the racket strings. However, temperature fluctuations can cause the stings tension to change but it is only temporary. Regardless of whether you are flying or traveling on the ground, you are going to experience temperature changes. Cold will increase the tension and heat will lessen the tension due to contraction or expansion. The effect will be the same even if you are able to carry the item onboard a a carry on item. You probably will not be able notice the differences that occur.

Answer 4

It doesn't really matter either way, but if you just bought and value it, I would take it as hand luggage, because I've heard of people's rackets being damaged in cargo.

Answer 5

The air pressure might deal a little bit of mess to the string.. because of diffrent pressure therefore the string get a little bit of force..

I think it is the same coz you're in the same flight

But anyway.. it deals a little bit only...

I did it before..

I brought my racket when I flew from Australia to Singapore... and nothing happened..
