An alternative to two suitcases is just to pack the Alpha (without the
transformer) in it's original box (and packing material) as checked
luggage and take the transformer as carry-on in a sports bag. A
suitcase for the amp might be better for some customs situations
(Aruba, Switzerland, eh, Steve?). This method is especially useful if
overweight is a problem (and the Airline isn't weighing carry-on
stuff). It isn't much fun to carry the transformer this way, though,
but it frees up one suitcase slot.
