뜻
To celebrate or carry someone with great enthusiasm and support, often literally.
문화적 배경
In bullfighting, 'salir a hombros por la Puerta Grande' is the highest honor, and it is the literal definition of being carried 'en volandas'. During the feast of the Virgin of Guadalupe, many pilgrims are supported 'en volandas' by the sheer energy of the crowd. Football culture in Argentina is so intense that 'llevar en volandas' is a standard phrase in sports journalism to describe the '12th player' (the fans). The phrase reflects the importance of 'el grupo' over 'el individuo' in moments of crisis or celebration.

Personal 'a'
Don't forget the 'a' before the person. 'Llevar a mi hermano', not 'Llevar mi hermano'.
