Helmets as hand luggage
Turns out helmets have to be work at the M Track Day next week.
Does anyone know if a helmet counts as a piece of hand luggage, or can you bring a 22" carry-on, a briefcase and a helmet?

I checked mine in its box last fall. At $25 each way. I was hoping to not have to do that this time. Oh well. But I do have a helmet sock and maybe use a loaner helmet?

for $1300 they should provide them.............
I decided to pass on this. I don't need to stay at the W and they insist on including it in the cost. I will wait for a local event to book the track and take my car over there at some point. I am sure you guys will enjoy the track and the city, or what you see of it. |

I wonder what they can do if you claim its part of your attire not hand luggage.

A plane travels much faster than any cars going around a race track so if driving requires one for safety issue, what's not appropriate for wearing one when being on a plane. I like to use that as an excuse but I think the security guys at the airport will beat me down to the ground. Haha

If youre dead set on bringing on, use a large duffel instead and secure the helmet to the duffel with a strap, and throw it over your shoulder so its behind u. If they say no, gate check the bag.
