So I've heard the opinion on "spare air" how it's expensive for what it gives you (i.e. barely any air, especially if you're at 100+ feet.)
So I've been looking around for an alternate pony bottle. One person recommended using this:

With this:

Here's my questions:
1) What size tank would you recommend as a pony? 6/13/19 cu?
2) One problem I have is that almost all my scuba diving is done after getting off a plane in a foreign country. Whatever I use will have to be transported on a plane, with all the associated difficulties with packing an empty, open cylinder, probably in hand luggage. (If it were in my regular luggage, it would undoubtedly get x-rayed and searched.) Anybody have any experience with travelling with pony cylinders?
3) Where do you put this thing when you're diving?
4) Any other configurations you've used/would recommend?
Thanks in advance?
