Cheers
Good to know at least one airline is ok with it.
I'll email easyjet although as you said chances of a reply are slim.
I'll stick it in a helmet bag and strap to the outside of my backpack then just hope for the best.
Might also bring along a roll of bubble wrap just in case ____________________ (L)users...Disk space is to good for them.

Just say to one of the cabin staff "have you got somewhere I can put my helmet" From my experience of cabin staff I'm sure one of them will be happy to oblige. ____________________ Yamaha FJR 1300 Normanton West Yorkshire |

Check in desk people won't see the contents of his back pack and with easyJet you can check in online anyway.
As long as the back pack fits in the frame thing they use to check if your hand luggage is within the size limits then there's no reason for it to be a problem.
In November 2017 easyJet said you're allowed to take a ski helmet in your hand luggage: https://twitter.com/koppernob/status/933773394201513985
You'll want to be near the front of the queue for boarding the flight as your bag will have to go into the hold if they run out of space for hand luggage. If they don't like the look of you or your hand luggage for whatever reason then they can require it to go in the hold and it's not open to discussion.
They've got a list of restricted and unusual items and there's nothing on there about helmets. https://www.easyjet.com/en/help/baggage/restricted-and-unusual-items
In layman terms, a motorcycle lid is basically a piece of polystyrene so it's not nearly as dangerous as say a tube of toothpaste which is larger than 100ml. |

This always reminds me of Ross Noble's little story about this. He was told by one airline that he couldn't carry his helmet on as hand luggage, and when he asked why, they said something vague about prevention of terrorism (yeah, go figure). But when he asked if he could wear it on, they said yes, that seemed ok! ____________________ Chickenystripgeezer's Biking Life (Latest update 19/10/18) Belgium, France, Italy, Austria tour 2016 Picos de Europa, Pyrenees and French Alps tour 2017 Scotland Trip 1, now with BONUS FEATURE edit, 5/10/19, on page 2 Scotland Trip 2 Luxembourg, Black Forest, Switzerland, Vosges Trip 2017

Old Thread Alert!
