- I took my KISS CLASSIC as carry on baggage the last time I travelled, with my computer, DSV, put other parts in my scrubber. Just be prepared to take it all out and show them EVERYTHING.
Sometimes it is just easier to ship everything, with insurance.
I would be careful with the carry on solution. I suspect its only a matter of time before the US airlines are weighing carry either randomly or in all cases. I know it has started on international flights as I go hit with a $125 extra bag charge on my last flight to Thailand when they weighed my legal size carry-on. I think the weight limit for a carry on was some insane low amount like 5 kgs/11 lbs. Heck the carry on suitcase weighs 4 lbs.
On my recent flight to Cozumel we checked in with 3 bags. With the home scale they all were under the limit of 50 lbs. On check-in US Air had them at 48.5, 51.0 and 51.4 lbs. They would not let the bag that was 1.5 lbs slide thru and they made us take something out of it.
