Travelling with a large cardboard tube - HOW?

Travelling UCS to IAD in a couple of weeks time, and need to take some posters with me in a cardboard tube about 38" long, about 5" in diameter. Anyone know the best way to do this? Is it best to the tube loaded as "oversize" luggage, or can I carry it on in UC???

Thx!

In Upper, I'd say you'll be fine with it as carry-on. I've carried 30" photo packs onboard before with no issue at all.

Hi

I take pictures/posters etc. in a tube often when I am in UC...no issue as hand baggage. Mind you, there's never been an issue when travelling in PE or EC either. At 38" it will fit in the back of an overhead bin OK, or they can stow it upright in a wardrobe for you.

came back from Chicago with 3 big parcels flying(UC) no problems just told to collect them from the oversize counter at LHR ,but they did lay them next to the belt

Carry on will be fine in UC - we brought some HUGE glass vases home from the US as a carry on without any issue.

I've marched on with stuff like that in econ before, you should be fine

I've been on with 63" tubes (7" diameter) weighing ~8kilos. Upper class into the wardrobe... thanks VS!
