Has anyone had any problems with Lowepro Computrekker plus bag being taken on board aircraft operated by non low cost carriers?
Many thanks

Re: Camara bag as carry on luggage
I own a Lowepro bag that has the same dimensions as yours, didn't have any problems with it till now with several cheap airlines. The size is around 30 x 20 x 45cm, that's allowed.

No, never on a non-lowcost airline. If size fits (and it does for Lowepro Computrekker ) I have only a few times been asked about the weight (normally more than the allowed 5-8-10kg depending on airline) and when I told it was only camera equipment it was no problem.nhoenich wrote:Has anyone had any problems with Lowepro Computrekker plus bag being taken on board aircraft operated by non low cost carriers?
Have had problems with both Ryanair (of course) and Maersk Air. In all cases I got the bag with me but only after long discussions.
That is why I now use Easyjet or a non-lowcost airline whenever possible.
Easyjet has no weight restriction only size restrictions and most camera bags fit those.

More or less the same here. I avoid Ryanair, Thomson and likes for that reason. Had no prob on TUIfly out of DUS though. 'Full-cost' carriers let me take the Photo Trekker AW II plus a notebook with some peripherals in its case as carry-on baggage, no questions asked. And total ticket prices are not that far apart anymore if you book on relatively short notice, which is what I usually have to do.

Flew in October with Ryanair from Weeze to Wroclaw and had zero problems with my Nature Trekker AW II (without the daypack).
