I'm going on a trip soon, and was wondering what I should check in or carry on.

Is it safe to check in flashes in their cases, and wrapped in some clothes for additional padding?

How about a short prime, non-IS lens?

Of course, I'm not going to check in my camera or expensive lenses.

Any other suggestions on hauling as much gear as possible, and not breaking one's back hand carrying the stuff up the plane?

What about security while on the plane?

Check flashes and stuff like that not lenses or cameras ever. They can be brutal when no one is watching.
