I am going to be going on a holiday over xmas, part of which includes
meeting some AFOLs and hopefully going to a BUGS meeting (Brisbame lego club).

Being the kind of person that I am, I want to make some kind of moc or mocs
to take over and show off.

Part of the travel will be by air.
There will also be travel in a hire-car and on a bus.
Its all domestic travel.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to what is/isnt a good thing to take
and more importantly how to take it?
Is it safe to trust it to airport baggage handlers or should I take it
in-cabin?

(...) Don't trust the airport baggage handlers. Read about my experiences earlier this year with sending a large MOC as checked baggage. (URL) your MOCs are small enough to take as carry-on, I would do it that way. If your MOCs are large (like (...) (21 years ago, 24-Nov-03, to lugnet.general, lugnet.loc.au)
