I loaded my 120aw full it is 16lx8dx8.5w and weighs 3.9 kg
I unloaded my 400aw which is 19lx10dx12w and it now weighs 4.2kg
the 120aw I stow under the seat according to Sunwing and the 400aw is the carry on. I will stuff my cargo shorts (get a multi pocket vest) with the extras and move whats needed before security.
I will have a k3 and k3II a 55-300, Primes 14,35,50, external flash, theta v, small tripod, batteries, cards, chargers, card reader with jump drive for theta.
Thank you everyone for the great ideas and advice, now I am pumped to get out and enjoy.

my thoughts for what they are worth:
1 if you have the battery grips for the K 3/3 II and the AA battery trays, I would take the minimum # of batteries [ once I confirm I could obtain the type of AA battery I want to use at the locale in Mexico I am heading to ]
2 chargers and every thing sturdy into checked luggage but keep one charger and cables along with the theta v, and card reader with jump drive for theta for cargo pants/multpocket vest
3 consider putting battery grips into checked luggage packed appropriately to save weight
4 consider wearing a " scrub " [ nurse ] shirt ( large pockets )
good luck
