I flew to Dunners are few weeks back to get a bike, no problem getting the helmet on the plane, but the overhead was too small and had to put it under my feet.

We are currently in Europe (trip blog at http://advrider.com/forums/showthread.php?t=971014)

Leanne carried hers as hand luggage, on her lap New Plymouth to Auckland (wouldn't fit in overhead) and internationally in over head locker. It was in proper helmet bag)
