Yep, that's how I do it too. Anything that's normally in the camera bag stays there and gets carried on, everything else goes in the hold.
 
When i went to kenya i had fun at every xray machine!
goes through scanner - gets pull to one side as do i, asked if okay to go through bag and i say yeah sure.
THey have a look and my bag stowes the camera in a seperate part at the bottom. They go in from the top an cant find it! they looked confiused then i point out that its in the bottom. they look at the camera like they never seen a DSLR before.

I am taking a charger, but as these things weigh next to nothing and take up next to little space its better to be safe than sorry.

In theory I should be able to take 4500 photos with the batteries I have charged.

But then again 3 might fail seeing as they are cheapies with one Canon :p
 
I run 6AA rechhargable batts in my 400D and 2x 2000mAh Li-ions in the grip. (not at same time) and hjave my offical canon as a backup if needed - i think only once i have got to the stage of using the official battery as i forgot to charger my others and my missus had nicked my rechargables for her P&S and put them back in the bag dead!
 
I'm going to Iceland on Thursday morning, weird eh?

I'm taking 1DS, 24-70, 28mm, 50mm, 580EXII, 580EX - batteries + laptop in carry on

20D, Sigma 10-20mm, Twin Lens MF camera, chargers/leads few changes of undies and 3 tshirts and an all weather in my check in luggage
