How long is the longest piece? Have to take on airplane. Possible in luggage?

A little less than 31 inches long. If it doesn't fit in a bag-- in the overhead compartment no problem.

The three fiberglass rods which make the frame are exactly 29" inches long. The frame rods are sewn into the kite material and can not be removed but the kite does collapse pretty tight. I would add an inch to account for the "fluff" of the material and the hemming. The kite tightly packed would measure around 30" inches long and roughly the diameter of a can of pop (3-4"). Sturdy well made kite for the price.

When open it's 46" wide, 82" high and has a 60" tail but in it package it's 30 in. long and 3 in. wide. No problem to carry inside an airplane. Have a safe and wonderful trip. Enjoy.

The bag would probably take up about 1/3 of a large checked suitcase...that is a good guess.

No, It is a fairly large and heavy item. If you are flying it your going to pay more in fees due to weight then anything If you do have luggage large enough to fit the pieces. I would recommend that you have it shipped directly home. You have to put it together and it stands at over 3 feet tall. Its on wheels and double sided. My daughter loves it.

It is larger then regular luggage dimensions, you would probably have to send it as oversize luggage. But I'm sure airlines would allow since the take golf clubs and surf boards! Most of it is already put together for you so i can't give you the size of each piece, but I would keep it in the box to send.

Rodrigo...The longest piece is the bars that span the log so... if you buy the 30" unit that's the longest part and it should fit in someone's luggage, if you buy the 36" unit, it should fit too, 48" maybe? My 30" unit came in a box about 32" long and just an FYI - there about 50 to 60 parts. Best thing I've ever bought for my woodworking hobby.

I think that it is longer than is actually authorized and it won't fit in all overhead compartments. Every time I've tried, they've allowed me to carry it on and stow it in the cabin but you might have different luck.

I have taken it as a carry-on several times... The problem comes if you are taking another carry-on besides the case, at least in American Airlines they only allow one carry-on and a personal item (briefcase, purse, backpack etc) and the case doesn't count as a personal item...

I have this SAME question! Does anyone know which is less bulky to pack? Need to take it on an airplane...

Do you mean put it in a carry on bag or carry it loose? Best to check with the airline. if It's shorter than the max bag length you could always bag it. I checked it when I flew.

I just spoke to Virgin America about an upcoming flight and their carry on size limit is a total of 50". That will barely fit a violin, much less a case (I would guess our case is a total of 65 to 70"). Rep told me it would have to go in checked luggage. The FAA regulation says the airline must allow it to go on board IF there is room in the overhead compartment AND it meets the airline's size requirements. Looking for Plan B.

Hello - I bought this as a gift so I can't remember exactly how long it was. It did come in a very long box when I ordered it that was much longer than a standard size suitcase. I do not believe that it can be disassembled. It could probably fit in a carry on. Hope that helps.

This is too large to be a carry-on item. It would have to be checked luggage to be taken onto a plane.

Just put it in a suitcase that's not being carried on. You don't need it during the flight.

Definitely not once constructed. The box it comes in is quite large and probably more than cabin luggage size unless your airline is generous. However inside the main box it has 3 (iirc) white boxes containing all the pieces (which are bagged in construction order) and 1 white box with the hefty instruction book. So it would be possible to break down into a suitcase if required.

It's about the size of a folding chair that fits in a bag- approximately 3 and 1/2 feet, so it might be too long to fit in a suitcase unless it's a really large one. Hope that helps some.

Why not order it to be shipped there a head of you? I think the box it came in was approximately 2 foot cubed all the was around. it was vacuum sealed to fit in that small of a box, just dont think you'll ever get it back that box if you are not happy with it. You may be able to take it as luggage.

It comes disassembled, so it would be no problem to take it in the box on the plane. If you want to play with it before you go and then take it apart, that would be tricker. Good luck! We love it :)
