Bag Problem - Solved

Well, no one would call that bag effete :-)

 

Steve's picture above shows the bag well. If you remove the DSLR partitioning, the Lowepro Traveller (2 M bodies, 6-8 lenses) and a pair of Duovids fit in the front space; that laptop slot is 14 inches wide, so a 15" MacBook Pro will fit perfectly.

 

Works for me...

A question for those from the UK -- if you're told you can't board because you have two bags, or your bags are too heavy or too big, what do they do if you agree, and decide to walk away? In the US, planes won't fly with unaccompanied checked baggage (or at least they wouldn't a couple of years ago.) If somebody backs off a flight at the last minute, they have to unload the flight and pull the bags...

 

I'm curious about what would happen if you pushed back a bit, by simply walking away. Would they have cause for some kind of legal action? Or don't the same rules apply?

Well, thanks for the heads up that other people 'are' having problems. It's worth knowing. Another reason to travel with M8s and not DSLRs :)

 

I will echo the problems others have seen. I once had to argue with an attendant that my bag was not too large, and this *after* I showed her that it fit in their device. She almost didn't allow it but I didn't back down, and eventually was let through.

One note: most flight companies allow one bag *plus* whatever you carry in your pockets and a camera around the neck, so I often stick a lens in each jacket pocket and the camera around my neck to make sure I have no weight problems.

They delay the flight and take your checked luggage off.
