I travel with my W&N watercolor easel, which comes with a case (when packed, it is about the size of a pool cue case). I usually pack it in the spine of my largest suitcase, but I have also carried it on the plane in the past. It is lightweight, but last October on the Outer Banks I discovered that my small one-gallon water jug full of ice water, when hung from the legs, not only stabilized the easel against wind, but provided a handy source of fresh water as well. And as I work in pastels, a couple of very lightweight aluminum camping tables allow me to be surrounded by all of my favorite pigments!
I never could figure out how I was going to fly with my half-French easel. And it was not very handy for supporting my pastels either.
