Depends on the weight and the airline.

The size and dimensions are probably OK, but most airlines usually have a weight limit for carry-on luggage.


For example, American Airlines has the following guidelines for carry-on luggage:

quote:
Size and Number of Pieces

FAA security measures limit customers on all AA flights to one carry-on bag plus one personal item.

* All carry-on pieces, including laptops, must fit either underneath the seat in front of you or in an overhead bin.

* The one carry-on bag must fit in an overhead compartment or under the seat. It should not exceed 45 linear inches (length + width + height) or weigh more than 40 lbs/18 kgs.

* Carry-on items which appear too large or irregularly shaped to fit under a seat, in an overhead compartment, or in a closet will not be accepted as carry-on baggage and will need to be checked.

* At times, additional limits may be placed on carry-on baggage based on the main cabin stowage capacity of specific aircraft.
These limits may be imposed after the boarding process has begun.

* Some carry-on baggage may be stowed in a cargo compartment on selected American Eagle aircraft.

* At some airports, carry-on baggage may be more restricted. All other luggage must be checked at curbside or at the ticket counter.
Passengers exceeding the carry-on limit will not be allowed through the security checkpoint.

* All portable electronic devices, including laptops, must remain off during taxi, takeoff, approach and landing until we arrive at the gate and the seat belt sign is turned off.

size wise yes for sure- weight wise....I would say yes again.

I personally take one of these on board and never have a problem size wise- but then its not full of records. http://www.chemical-records.co.uk/s..._full/U9566.JPG This is a few cms bigger in one dimension than stated- but ive never had a problem, as they deliberatley give some leway.

I have a friend who works for BA and he says that he doesnt- and nor do his colleagues- usually bother to weigh hand luggage unless it looks really heavy (person struggling or looking uncomfortable)

I fly British airways (am next week actually) and their allowance is as follows:
1 bag 55x40x20 cm (22x16x8 ins) with a max weight of 9 kg in First/Club/Premium Economy or 6kg in regular econ/coach.

In first/club/premium you can also carry on a briefcase or laptop 45x35x20 cm (18x14x8 ins).


You will be absolutely fine.

I am literally taking a flight every couple of months and not once have i ever had a problem with carry on luggage, and not once has anyone ever weighed it. Just make sure you can carry it...

If you are really paranoid or u know a certain flight is gonna be fully booked, make sure you are there early to guarantee you space for your carry-on...

Pretty much a repeat

1. Find out the weight and dimension rules with your flight company
2. Get there early


I'm assuming you should be ok.

I'm normally carrying a slightly bigger bag than yours on my flights. In it is 2 cd wallets with all my tracks in and also my mac laptop.

Never had a single problem on any flight yet...

A couple of years ago I flew BA and they lost my record box and luggage bag on the way home. They did eventually find it but it took a week. Never again will I put records in a box into the hold. Its just not worth it.... BA only pays a maximum of £100 insurance and its near impossible to get seperate cover for records.....

So now they go on board with me.... or nothing
