Is there a 3 in 1 seat that I could take apart to fly with (pack the back part and bring the seat on the plane) and put back together easily in harness mode? Or is it a big hassle?

If you'll have top tether anchors at your destination, the IMMI Go is packable as-is. (You could take the harness out but it wouldn't serve any purpose in this case, though.)
I'm also not sure what the benefit is. Usually when people talk about packing part of a seat, it's a highback booster that can't be used on the plane at all. With a booster, if the luggage gets lost or something, at least the bottom makes it to the destination. Checking part of a harnessed seat is basically the same as checking all of it. If it gets lost, the whole function of the harness is lost, too. I suppose you still have the bottom part, but that's not ideal depending on the age of the kid. Is there a reason you can't take the whole seat and use it on the plane?
Just to not have two carseats to carry through the airport. I might be traumatized because we have taken very heavy seats to England and had major delays (overnights in Atlanta, etc) and the carseats were a big pain with all the other stuff we had for the kids.
Totally understandable.
But as Jennie pointed out, there's no benefit to carrying ANY of it onto the plane in this case. If you're not using it on the plane, might as well check it. I'd pack it in a box if at all possible, or a sturdy bag, to help prevent damage/dirt. But you'll need a back up plan either way in case all or part of the seat is lost in transit.
