Is AJ strict on the size and wt of carry on luggage? Does anyone know the size requirement? Just wondering how I'm going to get all my camera equipment there.

Now my question is: We have a "bunch" of pelican bags that we don't use anymore. Steve brings all the camera equipment on in carry on luggage. He has divided them up between our two carry ons,

I use a large camera bag. They count it as a personal bag. It is small enought that it fits under the seat. I also have brought a lead bag for film. When I go thru security, I let them know that the lead bag is in the camera bag. They just bring it to the side and check it out.

Meryl, this past time (in July/Aug) I took my new camera and housing and got a camera bag to use as a carry-on. It's a gator brand bag and I think it was $19.99. It was VERY large and roomy, so I put the camera in the middle of it, and my extra clothing, bathing suit, and soft items around it. The only problem I had was at my original departure location in Columbus, they had to scan and re-scan it because they couldn't figure out what it was. It fit nicely under the seat, also.

Thanks guys. Steve's carry on camera's weigh about 38 lbs. video camera and housing. 2 Canon camera's (one just in case) plus housing, lenses, strobes, fittings, etc. etc. He use to store all equipment in one big pelican and one small pelican and checked both as part of our 4 piece check in allowance. Our carry on's use to be all scuba stuff (and bagels and other goodies )

Concerning the 50 lb. weight limit... Does this mean that if your bag is over 50 lbs., you will be charged extra, or that you wll have to dump some stuff and leave it at the airport? It doesn't say on their web site, so has anyone ever run into this?

Yes AJ is strict about the 50 lbs weight limit. You will have to pay more if your bag is over 50 lbs. We weighed our bags at home before we left. My scale read 47 days and AJ's read 52 on the same bag!

Jenny, we were charged 25 dollars a bag. But looking at their new rates it looks like 50 dollars now.
