|| SportsShooter.com: Member Message Board Mexico Travel and Think Tank Roller bags Craig Fritz, Photographer Albuquerque | NM | USA | Posted: 12:10 PM on 10.25.10 ->> I will need two roller cases and have both TT International and TT Security bags for upcoming travel to Mexico. Delta into Mexico City and then Aero Mexico on a regional jet to Campehe. From a practical standpoint, will I be able to get by with using the TT Security or do I need to get another TT International? I know the size restrictions technically do not allow the larger bag but am wondering if anyone has real world experience with this? I don't want to buy a bag (great but expensive) that I won't get used that often (being the third roller and all). Thanks, Craig  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

No issues with Continental on either end other than it was a small plane and had to gate check the bag. Biggest issue was at customs into Mexico since I had more than 2 bodies, but I was able to get around it with some BSing.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

The 2 body limit is something I am worried about also. Between the two of us there will be 4 DSLR's, 2 TLR's and 4 Holga's. That is not to mention the 7 lenses and boat loads of film. Any suggestions on that front are welcome too.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

They didnt blink at all my glass, just the bodies. They were concerned about me selling them in Mex. Once I explained I was there to shoot a race and taking everything back with me it was cool. Also being Mexico many issues can go away with $10-20.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?
