     Ben,

     I do a similar thing that Paul does.  I put the entire tripod in my
     duffle bag diagonally (so it will fit) and "wrap" it with a couple
     of pairs of jeans.  I then pack the rest of my clothes in and
     around the wrapped tripod.  This protects the tripod and has worked
     very well on many trips.

     As far as the scope, I place it in the case and carry on board.
     This way, it is with me at all times and is safely handled and
     transported.  I like to place the scope under the seat in front of
     me as opposed to putting in an overhead bin.

     Good luck on your trip.
