Anybody here done that?
Would you trust DL with a full backpack? (no valuables in it, obviously)
I'm tempted to break down the pack as far as possible and box it up, but I think then I'd be stuck w/ baggage fees for the box (no fee otherwise - int'l flight)
Advise appreciated.
Nearly all my personal travel is with a frame back pack and I've never had a problem. A few of the EU and Asian carriers throw it in a large plastic bag.
