How easy is this to check on a plane? Are there troubles with airlines storing it during a flight and then bringing it up to the gate on arrival?

Gate check as a parent would gate check a stroller. The return it when flight lands. Easy! Good Luck

Very easy to store, it meets all requirements and they let you ride it to gate, they load it there and then deliver at your final destination.

My one concern with checking it would be the large number of batteries in the case. If the TSA doesn't have any issue with that, you should be good to go!

Works great as a carry-on. I use it all the time, and I've never even had to gate check it.

was in UK for a month and used it everyday with no problems. the laptop was a cheap acer (250 dollars) Take it out of your carry on. Something in it triggers tsa search. After we started to take it out with computer no problems. Hope this helps

I have never flown with it, but I have escorted my (minor) son through TSA/security with it many times, and never had a problem. I am always approached at the gate by attendants ready to load it for me (until they find out I am escorting only), so I assume that means it's ok. :)

Just for reference: I have traveled with this stroller within the U.S. And internationally. Both times I was able to bring it to the gate. On one of the flights, they tried to tell me that I would need to check it, but I had mine of it! And they allowed me to bring it to the gate.

I'm sorry, that is a question I cannot answer. I have not flown since the purchase. I would suggest you call the airline, or TSA with the question. Worst case you could put it in a 'checked' bag.

On small planes I always have to gate check it, but have had no problems with damage. I have had to remove the wheels and my laptop to get it small enough to squeeze into the overhead, so be prepared to do this before you board so you don't hold up boarding like I did.

That depends on the airline. I did a gig in Vegas last year and they let me put it in the coat closet, when I played in Austin at SXSW, they made me check it. But I checked it at the gate with all the baby strollers. So it doesn't have to go through the airport luggage system. It's a great case and the reason I got it was because I knew that if I had to check the guitar, it would be safe.

Indeed you can, only if it is checked at the gate. You will be able to access it at the gate and pick it up wen leaving the aircraft. I would double check with the individual airline

We just took it on a trip and were able to check it at the airport with no problem.

We traveled with ours and it was easy. The stroller folds up quickly and was easy to maneuver through security. We chose to gate check and enjoyed having it available at our layover. The stroller held up well and has no damage from the travels.

If you're worried about your gear getting stolen, pack a firearm inside the box - even replica firearms count. It adds 15 minutes to the check-in process, but you're then allowed (obligated) to put a REAL (non-tsa) lock on the case. Just make sure you know the laws of your destination and anywhere you layover!

I only have checked it in at the airport. But I know I could have gate checked my bugaboo in this transport bag. I have also seen people just gate check their bugaboo cameleon without the transport bag.

Well u could not do a carry on because it exceeds the TSA 1.5 oz capacity. But you could check it in your baggage. It's sealed. You could double bag it if you wanted extra security from leaks

i can't give U a simple Y or N 'cause: (1) i did not try to take it aboard the plane in my carry-on & (2) re the suitcase I checked, the "thing" was empty as I did not fill it until i arrived in south america where i filled it prior to boarding the cruise ship (which does not allow "spirits" 2 B brought on-board. it went through the ship's version of TSP just fine because they did not do a full body scan nor a pat down and it was in my jacket pocket & I was not required to send my jacket through the scanner. nevertheless, i thick the quality of the "thing" looks fine & i had no problem with any leakage, so I plan to use it again and again. suggestions: put the "thing" in your carry-on & not on your carry aboard luggage as i don't think it would make it through an airport TSP check, which only allows a max of 4 oz; consider filling it only 1/2 full to minimize any loss due to discovery; wait to fill it until U R at your destination & not boarding a plane but rather a cruise ship or attending a concert or whatever, and don't put it in your backpack which is more likely to be searched than your jacket or crotch or whatever. hope this helps a tad. abe

I don't know how TSA guidelines would really apply as it pertains to flying to be honest. It comes well packages and I would have been comfortable traveling with it. It can be kept out of the fridge fort a time with no significant problems arising as well. As for an exact time, I cannot provide this. I would recommend just having it shopped to your home location
