What flight case would you recommend carrying this in?

Hello Brian , I flight from Florida (USA) to Argentina and brought it directly in the original case together with the Amazon box and some towels around it in between the two boxes. It was sent in a different despatch at the airport as a "Fragil Item" . It arrived in perfect conditions!!!! I think it's too big to try to take it on board.

I've never flown with it, but the case is pretty rugged. There is no lock on the case, so what happens to your instrument once you check it in is questionable. It would be difficult to fit the case under a seat or in the overhead. Also, you should know there is no storage room in the case, only room for one mouthpiece and the neck. All else goes in the bell.

I took it outside the country on a plane in its original box with factory packing. Was just fine. If you need a hard case for gigs and stuff, then just get any.

The bag has decent protection but not sure I'd be comfortable using it as a flight bag. I'd go for a hard case for air travel. I use it for a keyboard and it protects well. I use the flap for my laptop, but I can make sure it's protected during handling. The laptop section is the weakest part of the bag.

It's a great case for moving it from gig to gig by vehicle but it's not built for flying. It's not a hard case. I would suggest shipping in a heavy box with Styrofoam.

I've a similar item, and I think the case has enough protection for the telescope, assuming it qualifies as carry on (not sure if it fits), but definitely I won't use it if you check it as baggage. Also take in consideration that you'll need to manage how to transport the mount and tripod. Hope my answer helps.

It will not fit in a normal sized rollarboard that you bring in the airplane. It is compact however and the case has a carrying handle that you can throw over your shoulder.

i would look into flight cases, by j winter or roadie cases especially if i had a pro sax. the roadie cases got tons of room and it's on wheels and locks.

Yes, I took it on a flight yesterday :) Just make sure you get the cable style lock and maybe some extra padding depending on the size of your gun so it doesn't slide around. Fits nicely inside a small suitcase.

You're going to need a large suit case. I'd roll myself up in the mattress and wear it on to the plane to save money.

I fly a lot for work on American (on MD80s and 737s) fits fine. I typically have my laptop, iPad, chargers, and toiletries that won't fit in my carry on.

I'm not sure if that lock will fit. It has a small hole to pass a lock through that I wouldn't trust. If your going to use something on an airplane I would go with a Pelican case or something high quality.

In point of fact, this case is fine for air travel. Just make sure it's locked and declare it with your airline at check-in.

Yes this case is awsome for transporting your guns with the airlines. I took mine to Alaska a couple times with no problems, and it comes with its own locks, which is nice. I did not use any other locks for transportation amd had no issues.

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.

I wouldn't if you really care about your instrument. It is a step up from the cheaper cases but nowhere near those super reinforced molded flight cases which you would probably need. It would hold up if it were treated normally but when does that actually happen?!

Absolutely! I fly mainly on the major carriers and have no issues fitting over-head or under the seat. Regional type jets can be hit or miss on the over-head compartment size, but no issue under the seat. Going through TSA is a breeze as I'll typically stuff wallet & phone in the outer side compartment....unzip the laptop compartment, roll up my belt into the shoes and let it roll through the scanner. No bins needed! Easy pickup, zip up on the other side and I'm off and running.
