Taking a tripod on an Aeroflot, Kingfisher or Air India flight?
May I carry a tripod as carry-on luggage or do I have to check it in when on an international flight? Having it strapped to my backpack is fine during my trip but I'm worried it might get stuck somewhere at the airport while on conveyor belts.
I would like to know the answer to this question in general but am mostly interested in policies by Aeroflot, Kingfisher Airlines and Air India.
Best Answer
If it can fit inside a backpack it's definitely no problem.
I've never had an issue with mine (strapped to the outside of my pack) on international flights. I've never flown on Aeroflot, Kingfisher Airlines or Air India before though.
