The priority baggage is kinda neat too, first bags off the plane, so you

Hello Shaun,
I'm curious about this - considering getting a Pelican case myself.
Wouldn't the rough handling (such as a toss of the case onto a
conveyer belt) still be hard on the equipment? I realize this is
better than no protection, but is the foam that good that the camera
gear feels no
Mine also accepts a decent sturdy padlock, not one of those
pissy little suitcase padlocks that a three year old could bite off.
I heard something about you shouldn't lock your luggage any more since it
may have to be opened for inspection???

Umm, actually you should hope they DO move inside the case,

Do a search for TSA approved locks - that will show you what you can
use to lock suitcases without having the locks destroyed. I've been
looking into a few myself.

Hi,
I was wondering what you will be doing Cotty, Jostein etc? And also what
those who have done international travel in the past have done?
you might have to bite the bullet and pay the excess baggage
allowance. I have travelled several times with excess weight, and not
been charged, so it's
I dont think the check the hand baggage weight, but more check to see
if it is the corect size, i.e. not a suitcase! One trick you may like
to consider is to leave your camera around your neck with a lens on and
your laptop in its bag. As soon as you clear customs, put the camera in
the bag.

Another option is to dispense with the laptop altogether, and come to
an arrangement with somebody at GFM to let you transfer pictures from
your camera to CDs, or some smaller device.
I'll second that. I glady did the same for a US friend coming to Italy some
time ago and I find it
Tan,
If your budget will stretch for it before the GFM trip, get yourself a
Doskocil or Pelican hard case. They are dustproof, waterproof, just
about everything proof. They can go through the baggage handler's
barrage no sweat. I have a Doskocil case which is roughly the same size
as a Pelican
Hi Tanja,
I frequently take my cameras on overseas flight. I sometimes bring a
dozen lenses and an *istD body in a hard Pelican case. The Pelican
cases provide very good protection. However, I always carry it on. When
the airlines say one piece of carry on, they mean in addition to a
briefcase

Well, Tan, everyone is telling you how to carry all that stuff. I thought I
would make another suggestion. Leave most of it at home.
Stick the camera and one lens in the carry on, or just sling it around your
neck. Bring the minimum of clothing (but remember GFM can be chilly in the
summer).
LOL!

In most U.S. airports you relinquish control of the luggage
and are not present when they inspect. In fact, in most
instances you are not allowed to be present. So if they
don't like the x-ray scan or have a slow day or you just
happen to be the 1 out of x that gets a random inspection,

My checked-in luggage will be one seriously stuffed backpack. If it weighs

Hey, this is GFM! What we need to bring, we bring.

every airline trip I have made in the last 5 years has

you have a purse, that doesn't count. If you have a

'carry-on' is a suitcase,

Tan, I wouldn't worry too much. On my trip back from Hong Kong, I carried
my camera gear in a Lowepro, and in addition had another bag with duty-frees
in it. On a trip to the UK, I had my camera bag and a laptop, and
travelled both Qantas and Cathay Pacific without problems. The carry on

Yes. 120V, 60 cycles.
