Is the top secure enough so that I can feel comfortable using this for as checked luggage when I fly?

Not unless you also tape it securely. The latches that hold the top on could get released in transit.

Although the latches are secure for lots of moving around (I have even tipped mine over completely in a rather ungraceful moment), I don't think they would be sufficient for flying by themselves. However, they have holes for locks, and are very secure (no movement of the lid) when locked. Given that you cannot lock them for air travel, you could be use c-clips or something similar to get the same secure closure, but you'd have to try some things out.

Yes. I went through multiple airports and flight changes and train departures in a 24 hour period without even once worrying about the safety of my laptop. When I got to where I was going, everything was in perfect condition. Adjust your straps accordingly and pack everything properly. Otherwise a very well made bag.

Not at all, I've travel a couple of times with this bag and had a nice experience. It's light weight, bike is secure.

In my opinion, it will give you adequate padding (what is enough?), and is easily transportable. I would definitely consider taking it on a flight.

Yes, it is. Actually I didn't have problem during TSA and I traveled with this tent under my seat.

It is padded well and fits snuggly. I haven't had it on a plane, but I would think it would be all right.

It is very secure...............has been an enormous help. Haven't used it to travel yet but it will easy to transport in case I can't get a hotel room with a handicapped bathroom

It is definately ultra light and tough. When not being used, it collapses and has velco straps to keep it collapsed. There isn't a way to lock it though while on the airplane.

I will look when I get home tonite and tell you. It's strongly secured. Gotta ask husband.

Yes definitely comfortable but it is a little bulky considering if you're weaving in and out of crowds at Disneyland. I've carried this around during my vacation in Costa Rica and it had not only my DSLR in it but also some of my personal belongings such as passport, money, cards, and keys. I do recommend it for its sturdy and simple design.

I would say probably not. There is no rigid protection since it's just a soft case. It does provide some protection from minor bumps and things, but I don't think it would be enough to take the abuse of air travel.

I am sure the answer is YES. I have bought this case, used it on the airline from FL to KS... No problem at all.Heavy duty, will take all abuse... It has 4 latches, and 4 holes you can use your own locks to secure

Definitely. I travel with it regularly and haven't had any trouble. Fits nicely in the overhead or under the seat.

It is extremely heavy, can be bolted down and also has a lock and key to secure the iPad in place. Yes it feels safe.

It's airtight and very secure. I'd be just as confident in this as I would a twist on.

It appears to be well padded and the laptop is secure. Because it is a lighter bag, you are probably less likely to drop it; I've dropped others in the past because they were heavy. I haven't dropped this one yet so I don't know for sure.

Not sure I never traveled with it. I assume since it's flat and has no moving parts or sharp edges, it would not be a problem. Contact your airline they should be able to tell you?
