[CQ-Contest] Carrying rig on airliner ?

On the way down to Bonaire for the PJ9B CQWW SSB operation, I found a nice
item at Wallmart.  It is a heavy duty canvas bag the size of a large duffel
bag.  It has two wheels on one end and a "spine" on the bottom with a
handle on the end.  It's like those carry-on bags with wheels you see at
the airports, except it is larger and has the flixible canvas sides.  It
carried my TS940S plus lots of other cables and stuff (DVK, a keyer, etc.)
You can roll it on a flat surface and lift it by the handle to store it
overhead in the plane above your seat.  Cost is about $45.
