So you can carry quite a lot of LEGO with you on the plane. Virgin Blue has a
free baggage limit of 32kg, which is quite a bit of LEGO!

Having observed the baggage handlers at work in their dismantling of the brig
Seatop on Sunday night (amongst their other duties), I think the secret to
transporting MOCs might be that 32kg.

Light bags are thrown around alot. Heavy bags are moved with due reverence. ;-)

Next time I travel with MOCs, I'm using a lot of ballast.

When I went to the UK from Germany I took a MOC (a house) and I made it into
levels. I separated the levels and shoved small clothing items inside them and
then placed that lot into a bag (so if parts come off, it is in the bag and not
the whole suitcase. For me, with only 1 brick thick walls, this was perfect, I
did a fairly good job though :P but on the way back I didn't take as much
caution and well, I got what I put into it I guess... parts everywhere :( -
Tight and sturdy works rather well... I filled in pretty much most gaps with
socks and other 'smalls' ;) I will definately use this technique again, it also
saved space :D

P.S. Glad you all had a great time!
