Nothing got checked. It was pretty great and very easy to manage.

I'm thinking with the knee-jerk changes that will be applied travelling's going to get even less pleasant. Stupid really as these measure still don't actually make flying any safer...

When I worked for a company that didn't shudder at the thought of spending cash on training, I went to Seattle for a course. The airline I flew with (who'll shortly be on strike) sent my luggage to New York, where I think it had a wild week without me. My case finally got to a DHL depot in Seattle on the day I was leaving, so I had to take a taxi to collect it...all good fun. Since then, whether I've taken a full-size case or not, I always put a couple of days worth of clothes in my hand-luggage. Ofcourse, if you're going somewhere with your wife/girlfriend then forget about hand-luggage only...for anything more than a day-trip you'll be going with at least one large case - bit sexist I suppose, but (mainly) true non the less ;o) Hand luggage only…definately the future.
