yeh hand luggage in case they

1/ go walkies

2/ some idiot drops your case

3/ it get crushed under all the others..

when we went rimini because of all the security I emailed the airline Easy Jet and got them to email me back, which they did saying I could carry my records as hand luggage as long as they wasn't bigger than the size allowed. don't think you would get a way with a box of 50 12"s

but I had a box of 70 45's in a record box in side another bag that was sutible for hand luggage.

Hand luggage as long as they will fit . If you have to send them in the hold ensure you have a top quality full flight case. A "Caution Bio Hazard" lable for the outside is worthwhile as well

Hand luggage. I've got a small box from Covers33 that contains about 100 singles, and it fits in my Adidas holdall (for extra protection)... Total weight under 10 Kilos, and size's ok for Ryan Air standards.

There's no way I send my records in the hold...

Both John Weston and I use these boxes from Hard To Find Records in Birmingham. They are the perfect size to fit as Hand Luggage.

Here's the link HTFR Record Boxes

Hand luggage no doubt, for those of a Modern persuassion record bags are a good option, similair to laptop bags, can hold generally around 40-50 12's.

Cd's in the luggage or if you're lucky they can be carried through as hand luggage. It all depends on the airline and their level of fussiness, I flew to Frankfurt with lufthansa and didn't have any problems apart from coming back to the UK where they checked my record bag for illicit substances

I'd go back home unless I could carry them on. 100 box of 45s with paper covers does the trick

[Guest Roddy]

Thanks for that guys !

Mr Rimmer I am confused did you say you could get 100 singles and a pished John Weston in one of those boxes and get it through hand luggage ?

[Dave Rimmer]

No, I said I can get 120 singles through as hand luggage in one of those boxes. John Weston getting through customs pished is John Weston's problem.

I'm going to get some cards printed that say I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR JOHN WESTON !

In fact I've just ordered some

[Guest Roddy]

FFS Dave John Weston is not responsible for John Weston.

I am pishing myself laughing I have just remembered John trying to throw his empty Becks bottle off the boat in Hamburg and it coming back and hitting him in the head !

I also am getting cards printed !

I am Scottish "I have nothing to do with John Weston"
