We kept the packaging, but not sure if we should pay to ship it or consider bringing it as special checked baggage. Any ideas which would see better handling? J cabin carry on indulgence isn't an option due to our final short hop in a Q400 whose bins sometimes won't even fit regulation carry ons.
EDIT after talking to DW - 27" not 24.
