When flying what do you bring as carry on and what do you not ? Any stories of losing luggage ? Any tips ?
thanks

Post 9-11 - my son received an autographed bat from Rafael Furcal and we didn't really want to check it. With much pleading they let us bring it on as carry on - don't think that would happen today
It is amazing how little you really need.
As a pitcher, my son had only one travel request. His glove, shoes, and 1 set of baseball clothing went in his carry-on in case the luggage was lost.

If you just don't trust the airline or just don't want to bother with the equipment. Then you could ship it to your hotel in advance and it will be there when you get there!! Of course it will cost a little bit but it is worth every penny!!!!!!!!!!
carry it on, US Airlines lost my luggage going through Philly. along with 12,000 other people. luckily I got my bag back 2 days later. but definatley carrying it on going back
Hit and Run
Great tip !!!
It is a bit more expensive but it is the safest and bestmeans of doing it

Whenever I fly to an event or game etc. I always make sure everything I need is in a carry on bag, I'm pitcher so I'm lucky I travel light.
Just as rz1 mentioned earlier I just pack my glove ball uni and shoes, I'm too afraid of loosing my things.
Hit & Run makes a great point and I never thought of doing that, thanks for the advice.

Flew from PHL to Jax this summer for Blue-Grey...carried on: Glove, jock, spikes, pants. Figured we could buy anything else if it got lost [yeah I know -- we could have bought a jock, but you know how some cups are...] Coming home, did the same, mainly b/c he had to pitch in a Legion playoff that night - almost didn't get the spikes on board; I think my FAA badge helped, but we had some close scrutiny!!
Catcher would want to bring anything that would fit - you can buy if you have to, but not lots of time to break stuff in - definitely take the mask and the glove. I know this is obvious, but don't even THINK about trying to take a bat - it's a little different with those guys that carry their guitar or fishing rods!
