Trouble is, everything I build seems to be at least three feet long and/or
weigh ten kilograms. I guess I'll have to build something smaller to bring
along...

You have a 20kg checked baggage allowance (and no volume restrictions that I
am aware of), so that's 2 x 10kg MOCs, and take your clothes etc on in an
overnight bag as carry on.

Make sure you're really good at rebuilding from memory, or did up
instructions for your MOC. Stuff in checked, at least in the US, fares far
more poorly than carried on items. Same jouncing in flight, yes but the
baggage handlers are rougher than you are.

So I tend to check my clothes and carryon my MOCs. But then mine aren't a
meter long either.
