[QUOTE="Northeast, post: 642158, member: 8209"] Good afternoon PA members. Heading off on a bit of a trip in the not too distant future and wondering if anyone has any [B]recent experience[/B] with flying with a detector. There are plenty of threads related to this but they are all a bit dated. Battery is under 100 Wh so all good to take as [B]carry on[/B] whether in or out of detector. Will tape up the spare battery that is out. Detector all seperates down to a size that can fit in a back pack. Will take the detector control unit as carry on and hope to take the shafts as well but there was mention on another thread re: they may not let the shafts be carry on - any experience with this? Want to take at least 1 coil as carry on also. I am travelling with QANTAS and I know it would be best to ring them but with the CEO apologising recently for people being on hold for up to 8 hrs I'm just not so keen on that 🤔 Any recent experiences would be good to hear. Cheers, N.E. [/QUOTE]
