Most DOPs bring their Betacams on board and usually have one other case (often soft sided but padded) for lenses and batteries. The rest goes in the belly in aluminum cases which have fan cut out linings. I've never needed special dispensation to take this much on board when my crews have flown domestic of international on most carriers, either cabin. But we do all board when elites are called if we're in the back.
