Tennis bag as a cabin baggage
Hey!
Can you tell me if I can take my tennis bag with 3 racquets and some tennis dresses on a plane as a cabin baggage? Do I have to pay extra for that?
What should I do if I can't have the bag with myself because I don't want to put the racquets on a check in.
If it is important...I am flying from Venice - Dubai - Sydney (2 days stop) - Christchurch and back Christchurch - Sydney (1.5 h stop) - Bangkok (1.5 h stop) - Dubai - Venice.
The bag is like this...

Hi,
Left professional WTA quiet some time ago (played for 2 years) & never had a problem to carry the kit onboard but that was in F with EK or SQ or CX or UA or BA mostly or even in J wih SU or DL or AF or KL.
So you will be fine. In Yankee Class I have no idea how this should work out with EK.
Safe Flying

Economy Class customers are permitted one piece of carry-on baggage that may not exceed 22 x 15 x 8 inches (55 x 38 x 20 cm) and must weigh no more than 15 lb (7 kg).

ELITEGOLDTRAVELLER thank you but I have a little problem because I don't understand a part of your reply.
What do this letters mean:
F with EK or SQ or CX or UA or BA mostly or even in J wih SU or DL or AF or KL.
I know the measures allowed are 55 x 38 x 20 cm, but my bag is L76.2 x H30.48 x D35.56 cm.
That is way I don't know what to do.
Thank you.

returned yesterday on a Y seat from DXB to IAH, a passenger had a big backpackers bag, really big, and he took it onboard in DXB, they stoved it in the storage space next to the middle restrooms. so i am guessing a tennis bag is allowed.

I am flying with the Emirates in a week and I was searcging for the same answer. That is why I am writing to you with the same question. Did you have any problems taking your tennis bag on-board as a carry-on? Thank you for your answer in advance.

As my user name suggests, I'm a tennis player. On some flights that I've taken (not EK) my tennis rackets have been construed as a 'potential weapon' and so had to be checked in and not taken into the cabin. Another thought is that most 3 racket bags would exceed the regulation dimensions for cabin luggage although I often see people lugging incredibly large bags into the cabin.

I had no problem last year on a trip from Athens, Greece to Mexico City, via Paris, with Air France. Took my Head monstercombie as a carry on. It looks though that as far as tennis bags are concerned, we depend more on the employees at the airport check points, than to any company's policy. I've read that Lufthansa and British Airways do not accept tennis bags as a carry on. Anyone had any experience with those companies?
