Has anyone flown United, since the COVID blow up, with an Exo K3 4800, or similar? I'm wondering if they'll let me take it as overhead carry-on. I know plenty of people have in the past, but I didn't see anything since the pandemic.
I just carried mine on with Alaskan and American. Haven’t done it with United yet, but with all the stuff I see people dragging onto airplanes I’m sure you’ll be good.
Just got back from flying United and didnt have the guts to try and carry my exo k2 3500 on board. There was one guy I saw that tried to carry some backpacking pack that was stuffed beyond full and they made him check it instead of a carry on. If you would keep it more compact and sorta neat looking i think you would get it through because they didnt actually check sizes but i guess it would depend on how full you have it.
I've carried on a SG 5900 (Bino's, dope kit, and couple outfits) no issues. Same with MR Metcaf. Just don't over pack it, strap it down super tight, and mind the waist belt.
