The Pelikan is a definite consideration, until you consider plane changes. For us, it will take three planes to get from St. Louis to Stockholm. If it were just one plane, I'd do the Pelikan check-in in a heart beat. But any regular traveler knows that two flights is a risk, and that three different planes is very high risk of ""lost or misdirected luggage"". That is what stops me from doing check-in with a Pelikan.
