Hand luggage will now be restricted to a few items, including wallets, spectacles and prescription medication, which must be carried in a transparent bag.
Perhaps you could hire a fat suit, hollow it out, fit your records in and go on as a person of more than average weight.
Some people complain about travelling DJs playing CDs and not vinyl, but what can they do given such restrictions? There's no way I'd let my preciouses into the care of luggage handlers. Plus, I don't (and won't) travel.

that is a very old article and no longer relevant! that was only imposed for a short period of time.
varies slightly from airline to airline so depends who you're going with... qantas is 7kg max carry on for international. it should say on your ticket?
if you can carry on i'd say it's preferable. i've spent A LOT of time on the phone to lost luggage services in my time for djs who've lost their records. even have the direct phone numbers for most major airline's luggage services saved in my mobile - says a lot about the frequency it happens
also if you will be flying with multiple airlines check out ALL of their limits. my last trip o/s was with qantas so could take 7kg but when over there i did a couple of side trips with easyjet and air maroc and they had different limits...

most of them won't weigh it; i know i've taken on well over 15, and usually carry somewhere around 10, since i hate flying with checked luggage.
