Number one, always carry your camera bag as carry-on luggage. This will ensure that your camera and lens are protected from any untoward accidents that may happen in the luggage area during the flight as well as before and after the flight. You have to check-in your tripod though because it can be a deadly weapon as per flight safety rules. This is fine since they will handle tripods with extra care. It is imperative that you label your camera bag and tripod properly so that it can be brought back to you just in case.
