I am taking a plane trip to Oceans Shores,Washington to see grandson. Never been on a plane, how do you keep from putting camera thru the scanner. I have a camera back pack. Am keeping in that back pack and putting that in a 20" carry on. So when I go thru a scanner what happens? Thanks
You're getting lotsa good replies, here. FWIW, here's my experience:
A couple of times a year, I fly Alaska or Frontier, from Sea-Tac to Denver. I do not check baggage. All my camera gear + 14" Dell laptop + meds + sandwich + book + checkbook + gloves + spare wristwatch + spare glasses + sunglasses, and anything else that I don't want to lose, goes over my shoulder in a Tenba Cooper 15 (16W X 11.5H X 8D)
I just posted my last trip on Alaska:
On a recent trip to the Colorado "Front Range" (of the Rockie Mountains), my bag held an a6000 +...
1) "Zony" 24mm f/1.8 [SEL24F18Z] ~ for general touring
1) (Chinese) Sony 35mm f/1.8 [SEL35F18] ~ for "street"
1) (Chinese) Sony 50mm f/1.8 [SEL50F18] ~ for casual portraiture
1) Sony 55-210mm [SEL55210] "kit zoom" for granddaughter's softball games & trips into the mountains.
Clothes, shoes, etc., go in a wheeled "carry-on" bag that meets the airlines specifications:
Alaska Airlines: 45 linear inches (24 x 17 x 10 in)including handles and wheels.
Frontier Airlines: Personal/under seat ~ 18” Width 14” Long 8” Depth
I'm over 75 years of age, so I usually sail right through the security check.
