Carry on binos x 2 especially as replacement here is $3500 AUD
Plus my exy camera/lenses are carried on as well but the downside is if I`m lucky i just have room for a t/brush, change of shirt and underpants with the important stuff where only I can access it when I get the Dubai over nighter.




JG,

On my trip in October my carry on luggage weighed 12 kg, well over the 5 to 7 kg permitted. Due to camera, long lens, microphone, batteries, charger, small laptop, binoculars, and other stuff I have to carry ... luckily and fingers crossed, never weighed it, with some careful check in tactics employed ... one day I will fall afoul though ... but sometimes they allow stuff to be carried separately as long as the bags themselves are less than 5 to 7 kg ... it still all ends up in the overhead lockers though ...

Qantas stuffed us around with checked luggage. New rules, probably due to unionised naggage handlers not wanting to lift stufff. 23 kg allowance. Used to be not bag could be heavier than 30 kg. Not anymore. Now they don't accept anything over 23. Mine was say 27 kg and my wife's 13 kg. So combined not over. Not acceptable! Had to repack the bags at the counter to get my bag to under 23 kg. It weighed 23.1 kg and the bitch was going to make an issue over 100 gms .... before she a light bulk went on in her head and she decided it was OK ...

Annoying when part of the trip is in hot humid Amazonian jungle and light cool clothes and part is Andean mountains where it was supposed to be cold, so heavier warmer clothing also needed. In the end the mountains weren't that cold except at night when it got down to zero. Layering of course in cool places helps.

BTW our tickets allowed uss TWO bags at 23 kg each ... for the main flights but not some internal flights. Bought stuff over there and ended up with three bags around 20 kg each ...




Its the same here..50LB max per bag...it also depends on who is helping you..if its some anti you can be in for an issue or two..others don't care and you fly right through...

I have enough FF miles built up now so get a few extra perks...One was when coming back last time from Kyrgyzstan we got into the airlines lounge in Istanbul to pass the time..6 big screen TV's, free food and drinks while in there and big comfy sofa's to relax on as well as places to fire up a lap top to get caught up on work..made the 8 hr layover go by much faster...

The other thing we have done for the past couple years is upgrade to a minimum of "Comfort Plus" seating..nicer seats, more leg room and better service...well worth the money for long flights..
