Just when I was looking how to travel with my Meg, I have found this tiny little bag. I love my Meg.

Just be careful with the airlines. There is a weight restriction on carry on and I don't think I would want to check that bag.
We don't usually get checked for carry on (if you act like it is light) but we did have a problem recently with AVA air and had to check the meg.

I will leave enough space in the gulper to fit my Meg without the head in case if they don't like it. I just don't trust these guys at the airport that they will give it enough respect when handling.

Or return it back to you! I spent a LONG 24 hours waiting for my loop and counterlungs to get off the tarmac in Bonaire to make it home...

Head goes in my backpack/personal item, and maybe a few regs & vr3
Can and loop goes in my carry on....

Make it look light, and not bulging at the seams...

Megs are pretty tough. I am more concerned that it arrives at my destination since it is usually a key ingredient of my activities.
