I don't know about Delta but I did fly to San Francisco from Malaysia last week. I had the LowePro Stealth AW and Singapore Airlines let me through. (EOS30, 16-35 2.8, 70-200 2.8, 50mm 1.8). Also, Because I had other stuff in the bag, it was heavy with my notebook computer. The Stealth has a notebook compartment that is removable. I removed it so that I got 2 pieces that weighted a total of about 8 kg (~17lbs). I think the weight limit is 7kg (~16lbs). I had more issues with security (kindly remove your shoes and put them through the scanner) rather than about my carry on luggage. However, do check how heavy your bag weighs and check with Delta about the cabin luggage size. * **** ******* *********************************************************** * For list instructions, including unsubscribe, see: * http://www.a1.nl/phomepag/markerink/eos_list.htm ***********************************************************
