Traveling with the rig

[ikd 0]

Hey, I have a flight with Lufthansa airlines and I'm taking my rig with me, I want to take the rig as a carry-on laguage but I've heard about various problems that I can encounter, does anyone can share any tips or suggestion how to be prepared ? what can go wrong ?

Thanks,

I flew Lufthansa Chicago to Munich and Back. Never blinked about my rig in the carry on with a cypres, last August. I sure the rest of the stuff is in the links above.

I flew Lufthansa on a European trip, and had to check my rig (in a rig-bag), as it was simply too large for the smaller plane's on-board luggage compartments.

More recently on a long haul flight (SAAirways), the rig was completely ignored as carry-on, and all went well both ways.

The links above provide some good general advice on the topic - which helped me get through without any hassles on this last trip (in rig-bag, hook-knife in checked luggage, etc.).

I'll second that one. Moderators?
