Leeway on checked baggage size?
I have some tent poles that I need to take on a SH flight in the next few weeks. They're well within the weight limit but at 93cm a smidge over the 90cm max length allowed by BA for checked baggage.
I'm unclear as to how lenient they may be or, if not lenient, what the options might be for me at the airport. Any experiences/advice?

Bah. In typical fashion I've just found this on the BA website which I think answers my question.
You can take larger items of up to 190 x 75 x 65cm (75 x 29.5 x 25.5in) for an additional charge. (Currently, we waive this charge so you do not pay it.) Any items larger than this require shipping as cargo
