And where do you carry your underwear? Kidding aside, great video. Thank you for making it and sharing your flow!

I definitely packed all of my light batteries in my checked bag once. It actually got delayed, too. I always arrive the night before a shoot just in case...The bag made it on a later flight and the airport dropped it off literally minutes before I had to head to the shoot. I went to set up and realized I had NO batteries for my lights. Lesson learned.

I wish I found this video six months ago when I started my production company before I learned all these lessons the hard way! Only thing I’d add is that if a golf case is slightly too short for your needs look into cases for ski equipment.

One more hack that I actually just found out about recently.... If you are traveling with media, and have a media pass, you can check your bags through the priority lane. This is at least the case with American Airlines.

Great video Justin and love those hacks! My question is, how do you get all your gear in the carry-on cases and still remain under the weight limit? Most international flights I travel on for example have a 7/8kg (17lbs) limit for hang luggage. These pelican cases themselves are a few kgs each, not including the gear.

It's always interesting to see how people manage their gear on travel. Don't you ever have issues with overweight on the carry on bags? Just looking at for example the pelican case 1535TRVL the weight on the case only is around 5 kg, most airlines do have a limit of 7 kg for carry on.
