  It's all good. Plane cabins are covered now.

  You can take a travel/collapsible umbrella on board no troubles - I do it all the time.

  You could have issues if you tried to take a golf umbrella on board as it probably won't stow anywhere. Stick to a regular travel umbrella and you'll be all good.

  Yep. Full size, too.

  Source: Did it once for a Jetstar flight a few years ago for a day trip to Melbourne. Flight attendant was all well done you for thinking ahead. MAJOR drama when I left it behind in Myer Melbourne at closing time … I had to buy a perfume to get that particular umbrella; I wasn't leaving the state without it!

  username checks out - bring that along too :)

  I have often brought a full size umbrella on Jetstar between Melbourne and Sydney (although it is not as huge as a golf umbrella). Chuck it on top of a few bags in overhead luggage. No staff has ever mentioned anything to me when boarding either.

    I've got a light rain jacket I'm planning to bring. My duffle coat is a bit heavy to lug around if I end up not needing it. Forecast temp is 24?

      haha you're right about that, and sydney can be unexpectedly humid too so nothing heavy.

  If you need an umbrella on board, getting wet is probably the least of your concerns
