Checking US Airways baggage blurb your allowed:
"Carry-on baggage
You're allowed on carry-on bag and one personal item. Personal items include a purse, briefcase or laptop bag
Size requirements
Up to 45in/115 cm (14 x 9 x 22 in or 36 + 23 + 56 cm)
Up to 40 lbs/18 kg"
So I'll take it as hand luggage... hopefully!
Good point, I've double checked under special items, Hockey helmets, Lacrosse helmets and Baseball helmets are allowed, I guess motorcycle helmets will be ok, I'll wear it to get on if necessarydouble check, when I took mine I was also allowed to have an item of headgear, which they mean hat but they didn't say so and I said helmet is item of head gear and they said ok. which was good as I also got to take a carry on bag
Maybe this one? http://www.ukgser.com/forums/showthread.php?t=231783&highlight=helmets+flyingThere was a thread on this subject a couple of years ago
In the cabin. Some years ago my wife flew out to the US to meet up with me and had a heck of a time taking her helmet through security at Heathrow. They said it could be used as an offensive weapon (doh!).
How do you take your helmet, in the hold or in cabin? we're flying US Airways BTW Heathrow to Las Vegas
Cheers
You'll not be wanting to wear a UK helmet in Vegas, even an open face one. Trust me on this
We're flying Singapore airlines to Oz in November. I've already asked them about taking a crash helmet. After the exchange of multiple e-mails they said it had to go in the hold. Would not have it in the cabin at all, - and I did try very hard to convince them!
