While most airlines seem to be fine with people traveling with a tripod its sometimes unclear what is allowed and not in terms of size and allowances.
So I recently went on a hunt for a smaller tripod based on some figures (<54cm) I had heard here and there. But it seems my tripod is actually within the limits of easyJet (http://www.easyjet.com/en/help/baggage/restricted-and-unusual-items#) which allows “63cms x 27cms x 28cms”. But some other airlines are not so forthcoming. Even easyJet does not specify if its fine to have the tripod strapped to my bag or if I need to pack it more neatly in a bag etc.
I am guessing there aren’t “standard” rules for this and it probably varies from airline to airline. So wondering what people’s experiences are. Also any links to other airlines you may have checked with proper specs and guidelines would be very helpful.
