15 pounds? Airline-approved? Just need to make sure because I'm planning on flying with sports equipment such as 3-piece fishing rods and take down

not sure of the weight - it's really light..15 lbs or lessi've used it a few times on united airlines (once to miami another to mertle.) no issues - in fact i jammed in some of my clothes around the clubs to reduce my carry on.. technically united only allows for clubs, a pair shoes and balls ... then it's checked in as "oversized" luggage - so you need to typically pick it up at another location for land of misfit toys and oversized luggage.

I just flew JetBlue in January and had no problems. The luggage guy commented on how light the bag was with clubs and what a great looking carrier it was.

I fly with my clubs using the Samsonite all the time. No problems. Depending on how many balls I take and the number of shoes I cram in with my clubs, the fully loaded case typically comes right in at 50 pounds. I have flown on Southwest and US Air without issues.

I have not done any air travel with the bag, but I have had it on a few trips and it has been great. I too fish with some expensive rods, Sage Z Axis, Orvis Helios, etc. I think it is a great gear bag. No complaints from me.

Based on my experience in my recent travels I am guessing you need to check this into the belly of the beast. There might be a place in the front if you are business class. Call your airline or take a chance. The worst case? They now offer to check it through at the boarding area. However, I am confident that even extended some this will have the guts to keep all your rods safe. Completely or nearly shut down, I expect it might get run over by a car and survive. VERY tough.

I believe it was 650. lbs. but the real issue is if you get sea sick... LOL... I loved the boat, but my ex got seasick on our grand adventure with our lunches out to sea.... There was plenty of room for two big people and places for fishing rods... This was a great little boat to get started and I was living on the water so I needed something I could carry by myself out to the dock, where I inflated and went down the river.

It really depends on how much weight you plan on using. I don't think I've gone much heavier than 150lbs, but it's a very solid piece of equipment, the padding is sturdy and doesn't spread too much either!

I'm not sure what it is rated, but it's def a light action rod. I love mine, perfect to pack into a bag and take anywhere there are fish!

No not airline approved. No sift sided crate will be unless you carry on, this one is to big for that.

I'm currently using it, but the bag says it weighed 3 lb.- 12 oz. That includes the fly.

I flew Southwest and AirTran last week, carried it on, no problems. Fit in the overhead with plenty of extra room to spare.

I don't know for sure, but one of our friends said his bag weighed just under forty pounds, the airline maximum weight without charging extra. Hope this helps. DEW

Yes, but some smaller aircraft will require you to gate check this bag. I went to Russia and back with the bag weighing nearly 50 pounds and didn't have any issues until a commuter hop where I had to gate check. It was fine.

I dont think its an approved aircraft restraint. The average 2.5yo will be too small for the size small. I think it says 3.5 and up but I began using it for my 3yo who was bigger than an average 4yo. Worked well for him. For a 2.5yo Id get a small cheap lightweight 5pt harness seat.

I have carried this on many airplanes already in SE Asia. The bag weighed between 15-20kgs each time. The only time I could not was when I was going from one island to another and the plane carried around 50 passengers.

This bag is heavier than a vinyl bag for sure. I don't know a lot about the weight restrictions on air travel since I don't fly a lot. I think it weighs something like 8 lbs. My praise of the bag mostly regarded its materials and craftsmanship. It harkens back to an earlier age of stagecoaches rather than the coach section of a jet.

It's not verify heavy at all, I'm sure if you look at the Product details it will tell you. I had my bag and clubs (I carry about 16 clubs) two pair of shoes and it was under 40lbs. it's a great choice to travel with. Granted I only went on one trip, but it had two connections.

I have a small piece of Velcro on it. The total weight with the velcro is .52 oz or 14.xx grams. I used mine on quad copters.

I don't know the exact weight, but estimate it to be the weight of an average to light airplane check-in, so 15-18 kg.
