Thanks. I'm thinking there was something like a big colorful laundry type bag linked in the past. I've searched forum and googled laundry bags and not coming up with what I think I sawI think people are using IKEA bags. http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/90149148/
Or you could just get the pack wrapped at the airport (at least major international airports).
This may not be much use to, being in Australia as I am. but I use a Zip Away toteThanks. I'm thinking there was something like a big colorful laundry type bag linked in the past. I've searched forum and googled laundry bags and not coming up with what I think I saw
It's hard to find a pack that fits the carry on dimensions and recently I had my carry one weighed and measured.I do not need a bag.
I carry my pack on board.
I would like it to show up when I do.
Having said that I only have a waist bag now.
I was lucky enough to pick one of these up for $4.00 on clearance just because. It may come in handy someday, bu I'm with Al. My backpack went in the cabin with me although my waiste pack is way too small to walk the Camino with.http://www.target.com/p/jl-childres...A-12403813?lnk=Rec|pdp|viewed_viewed|pdp404h1
It is no longer on the Target shelves, but can be purchased online.
I now begin caminos with a relaxed attitude. Delayed baggage is one among myriad challenges, and one I can deal with. I check my backpack and trekking poles. Twice in a couple dozen flights my bags have been delayed. I now plan for it with a bed reservation at my destination so that I have an address for delivery of my backpack. I take very few anxieties with me!My backpack went in the cabin
AndreoThis is what I used for the Camino Portuguese I just finished.

My journey included five air segments, both intercontinental (US to Europe) and within Europe. It worked perfectly and is distinctive on baggage carousels.
I just pulled the cords shut, attached a luggage tag and double knotted a bow - like tieing shoes. Plus, it folds down to about the size of a deck of playing cards, weighs less than that and is easily machine or hand washable. I just threw mine in a washing machine as the chance presented itself.
This particular bag is available in varied patterns and colors from this source. I chose the green as it matched my rucksack.
BTW, it easily held my Osprey Kestrel 48 liter pack fully loaded, I mean fully overloaded...but that is another story...
I hope this helps.
Recently I have seen one thread and maybe two that had some links to inexpensive bags in which to place pack for checking. Can someone point me in the right direction? My searches are not coming up with the links that I think I remember.

How was your camino. Did you take a lot of rain. ? I am staring my Camino Portugues in May 2 and I am a little anxious about the rain.
Cher, you may be referring to posts about professional laundry bags that you can use to protect your pack.Recently I have seen one thread and maybe two that had some links to inexpensive bags in which to place pack for checking.

Thank you so much for your generous offer. I wound up buying the Osprey Airporter and it met my needs fine.Cher, you may be referring to posts about professional laundry bags that you can use to protect your pack.
Poll: Which backpacks are most popular on the Caminos?
I actually still have several brand new ones of various colors and will send you one if you PM me. They are not all bright colors, but they are very sturdy. We use them for boy scouts going to summer camp on the plane. Great way to have the gear self-contained.
