Airline Carry-On SUMMER 2015

Flight HA01

Traveling by plane this summer?
Not sure what gear you can carry-on?

We have put together an extensive Airline Carry-On guide for Summer 2015, with sizes & weights AND recommended Think Tank Photo & MindShift Gear bags.

There’ve been quite a few changes in Airline Carry-on allowances* since we reviewed this last summer… and a lot of NEW Think Tank Photo & MindShift Gear bags, as well as new FLM (lightweight ball heads and tripods) too!

We’ve updated this list of airlines and include the maximum number carry-on items, weights & dimensions*, to help you on your journey.

We have also given you some suggestions for Think Tank Photo & MindShift Gear bags that are within the relevant airline’s carry-on allowance guidelines.

HOWEVER, keep an eye on the maximum carry-on weight you are permitted to take on each airline.

The airlines are listed here alphabetically!

If you use the ‘cmd’ + ‘F’ command on Apple and ‘ctrl’ + ‘F’ command on PC to search for your desired airline more quickly.
