Anyone Carry On Boots?

[wa-loaf]

On Southwest to be specific? I've got a boot pack that carries the boots on the side. Easy to detach and put in the bin. Wondering if I'll run into trouble with it. I have a tight turn-over and I'm afraid some of my stuff will be late ...

I just flew Southwest to Colorado and had no problem with a carry on boot bag.

I have one of these: http://cgi.ebay.com/TEAM-BACKPACK-S...ultDomain_0?hash=item3a55f02f35#ht_940wt_1055

I can pop the boots off and put them in the overhead bin and not have an oversized bag.

Mine is a Transpack xt1 like this:

I saw lots of people with bigger carry-on's than mine. I didn't see any boots on the outside of bags, but doubt it would be a problem. Some people basically had two carry-on's and put one in the overhead and the second one under the seat.

I also checked in a big padded ski bag with two sets of skis in it, again with no problem. I weighed it before the flight to make sure it was under 50 pounds.

Where ya headed?

I just noticed my Ospray backpack has two side straps EXACTLY like the one on the photo. Pop the boot in there and lo and behold, it's a perfect boot bag!!!

Who would have thought that!

I use a Sidekick Pro w/o ANY issues.

I always carry my boots on the plane.

I have the High Sierra equivalent of a Transpack with the big middle compartment and the two outer compartments. On a 737 where the overhead isn't really tall and just fits a roll-aboard, I put the boots in the middle compartment and have to pull the stuff out of the outside compartments to fit the bag into the overhead. I just pack the outer compartments using a plastic kitchen trash bag and larger items.

My boots smell SO bad that I can't get thru security.
