Hey guys, Wondering if any of you have any experience bring computer in international flight (check-in baggage). Would you recommend it??
I didn't try, but during my recent flight, it is actually recommended to carry on to the flight, and they allow. Check with your airline.
I did check-in my 22" LCD display during my last trip, I still had the box. Got some 'fragile' stickers at the check-in, it did survive the trip. CPU I suggest u strip the component, dump the casing.
my gf is thinking of bringing her computer back. hp pavillion 19" wide LCD 2.0ghz core 2 duo 3gb ram 2 hard disk nvidia 8500gt worth bringing back ?
Done it a couple of times dismantled, I think once in hand luggage and once in check-in. Probably best to hand carry the hard drive as mikegas said. I wouldn't bother with the LCD though, personally.
Well, that depends... If she has nothing else to carry back, sure... but if it's going to cost her money to fly it back, better not. If she's going to bring it back, I would recommend taking out the hard disk drives and carrying them in her hand luggage. Also, she should carry the LCD monitor as hand luggage as well. You can remove the base and you will have a pretty flat monitor that will fit a plastic bag or large haversack.
