I use a backpack that will fit under the seat and will hold a 300 f2.8 plus bodies and three or so lenses. If necessary I will check clothes as I can easily find clothes anywhere but lenses not so much. I have found that a careful selection of clothing/personal items allows a week in another backpack sized piece of luggage. Sometimes I will save space by planning on purchasing items at the destination. In fairness in the past I have checked camera gear in a fitted pelican that was TSA locked condition. After "stories" about theft at the Atlanta Airport I discontinued that practice.
