That's a HELL OF AN IDEA!If anyone can bring extra radio's, maybe bring some for sale or trade!
Maybe we should start discussing traveling with Ghettoblasters.. You know, the ones that don't fit under your seat..Lasonic TRC-920 said:DUDE!

The biggest radio that will fit under a seat is a 920 / M70 sized radio. And that leaves little to no foot space. If I was flying across the world, I would look for a hard shelled case with foam inserts in it and just check it. I flew to Alaska earlier this year, through 4 air ports (each way) https://boomboxery.com/forum/index.php/topic/23891-lasonic-trc-920-tour-2015/?hl=wrangellJustCruisin said:Maybe we should start discussing traveling with Ghettoblasters..

There could be some very valuable tips on how to successfully bring them safely, based on other member's experiences.JustCruisin said:Maybe we should start discussing traveling with Ghettoblasters.. You know, the ones that don't fit under your seat..
My wife already said she'd be up for the Vegas trip. But after the last Boomboxery meet, on Our 25th wedding anniversary meet, she said she'd rather hit the Casinos or shopping than hang with US during our scheduled meet & greets. My two sons are always game for anything. So I'm sure she'd like to do some shopping or other girl type things with other ladies that We can drag along.
I'll make sure My wife has a PrePaid card so there is no surprises.Lasonic TRC-920 said:If I hand my wife a credit card and tell her to follow your wife, I'm good to go
Can You imagine the crowds We'd have gathered on the strip WHEN We take them out all at once. We might have a Breakdance battle start up. Totally YouTube viral material. Yeah Baby! World news worthy. Okay, I need to calm down. Hee hee..
You can carry-on and pay for overhead luggage on Spirit Airlines with a M90 
. I think it was $35.
Just don't say 'boom box' or 'ghetto blaster'. Use 'cassette recorder' or 'vintage radio'. I did manage to have my 10 D batteries packed up in a bag and inside my back pack and made it through security too.

I didn't put the 920 up because of the fragile switches on the front, but the M90 looks tough enough
As for batteries, I had mine in the radio on Alaska Airlines, but with United Airlines, batteries have to be removed and if they are used (not in original packaging) they need to have tape on each end, to prevent shorting and a fire (their thoughts, not mine) and checked!

I've flown that airline before, and $35 is cheap for "peace of mind"..Someone cue up that video of the guy throwing boxes onto a conveyer belt that keep falling off!
When I went from Los Angeles to PA on Southwest Airlines I took my BB40 they did not charge me anything for overhead compartment. On the way back I also carried on 2 boom boxes and had 2 BIG cardboard boxes with two radios in each one in the belly of the plane..$75.00 per cardboard box not bad...
LMAO...MyOhMy said:"........Just don't say 'boom box' or 'ghetto blaster......." (on a flight!!!)
When I was checking in at the airport I was asked questions about the radio someone asked me what kind it was I was afraid to say BomBeat40 so I just said BB40 did not want to use the word bomb....
Ok my connection on hotel rooms in Vegas just got back to me but not with very much information he has connections to 6 different hotels I'm going to find out prices and how far in advance we can reserve rooms I will keep you posted
