I've been asked to DJ abroad for the first time and panicing about taking my records!

A friend of mine told me about a lightweight plastic 100 box he had bought, bunged into a sportsbag and straight through as hand luggage - trouble is it was at a do and I cant remember the name/details of the box.

I wondered if anyone has any advice/stories etc - probably only going to take 70 or so maximum.

Thanks,

Dave

I have never in all my years been charged for anything, not sure where that comment comes from, don't know of any others who being charged either... Carry my 125 box with me all the time as hand luggage, its 7.5 k, room also for a few other bits of clothing on 10kg limit...

How can they charge????? tell me, sometimes we pay our own way and book hotels etc, the dj fee would not cover that, do we then ask for cash back as we are out of pocket??

I'm just back from Spain, 2 small boxes containing about 75 records, I put them in a bag and took them as handluggage, no rpobs.

Good luck

Thanks guys, put my mind at rest there, definately going for the carry on option - I've got a small spot at the Big Thing Weekender in Valencia, so original (Northern) vinyl only Ian and no danger of my records being worth 30K lol,

Managed to avoid Ryanair as well and going with Easyjet.

Thanks again.

Dave

Dave,

I've never had any problems taking a 200 box to Spain or Sweden with EasyJet.
