Funny this thread has just been bumped - I've just started planning a trip to DEL for December! Good to know about the very strict carry-on restrictions. I hope to have a Synapse 25 by then, and to be traveling without my laptop (gulp!).

Thanks for the ideas so far. I just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing anything.

1) Aeronaut w/Absolute Strap and Synpase on back
2) Aeronaut w/backpack straps and Synapse in hand
3) Aeronaut w/backpack straps on back and Synapse on front (like carrying a baby, except it's your stuff)

Great story and pics, nice to hear/read theres another convert and just goes to prove that carry on is easier for some people.

Wonderful photos, maverick. Glad you enjoyed your trip.
It only took me two trips to Europe (solo) with a wheeled suitcase to realize that traveling would be much easier and I would be much happier if I packed light, carried it all on, and carried it on my back. I won't go back to wheeled luggage unless/until I absolutely have to.
Experience is often the best teacher - as I think your friend would agree.

Maverick, what a great illustrative story. I don't travel like this at all, nor do I know when I ever will, but just having the examples of what you were carrying and how the airport treated the scenario is telling and informative to an inexperienced air traveler like myself.
Thanks for sharing.

i didn't pack the absolute strap. the absolute shoulder strap is a wonderful way to carry the aeronaut or any other bag on your shoulder. but i prefer using the backpack straps since it spreads the load across both shoulders and my back.

Thanks for the pics and narrative maverick!
It's nice to hear how well-suited the Aeronaut is to air travel.

Glad your trip went well.
