Wang says "no" and Marios says "yes" has anyone tranported a fire in this case via Airline ?

As far as I know, you should check with Plano Molding web site for the proper answer.

Plano's website specifically calls out that this series is meant for airline travel:"Plano's All Weather gun cases protect your firearms from damage and the elements. With rugged, industrial strength construction and a continuous Dri-Loc® Seal, All Weather™ cases create watertight and airtight shields that protect your guns even in the most extreme conditions. And with heavy-duty, dual-stage lockable latches and a built-in pressure valve, the cases are designed to withstand the continuous bumping and jarring of airline travel."

It seems to be durable. I bought it for my 6 yr old son, he's not torn it up. However, it would not be durable enough to keep important monies or papers in to keep safe. I believe the lock could be easily picked.

We used this bag as carry on for international flights and on domestic flights in America and didn't have any issues.

I can't say whether or not it's on a particular list of "approved cases" or not. What I can tell you is that I flew on Southwest from Portland (OR) to Phoenix (AZ) and back with my firearm in this case and had no troubles with the TSA inspection. Just be sure you have a solid lock (I recommend the cable add-on Amazon will suggest when you add this to your cart) and be sure you follow your airline's instructions for transporting your firearm.

Yes, this case is durable and sturdy. It has a magnetic clasp that closes. My laptop is big I think it's a 16 inch and it fits fine in my case

It is designed to be a check in. You wouldn't need this kind of case for a carry on you would just use your regular case. Sometimes the airlines let them on and sometimes that don't!

It's pretty good, in my case at least. I've dropped mine countless times and it has yet to break (until I took it out of the case, dropped it on the ground accidentally, and had it run over with a truck). But yeah, it's a good case.

i would describe it as moderately durable. it is just too small for my use. it will carry a full days food. i now use a plastic igloo box which isn't as carry friendly nor does it compartmentalize.

I have two different skb cases. One with & 1 without lock. The one with lock appears to be & if I recall the one guaranteed to be able to go in cargo. I've never the opportunity to travel with this case, but I think it's sturdy enough to handle it. The big concern are the cargo inspectors who may open your case & handle your guitar. Do you allow strangers who do not appreciate your guitar to handle it. The case is fine, it will handle it. You might be better off paying ups the $25 cargo to ship it. Check it out.

I purchased this as a carry on for my granddaughter. I would not subject it to the abuse that checked luggage receives. It is small enough to go under the seat in front or in the overheard compartment.

No, it's a cool case and good for putting around but I wouldn't trust it to baggage handlers.

Yes, its durable. I through my phone in my purse a lot and it has held up. It doesn't offer much protection as a OutterBox would, but I don't think it was designed to. It's very pretty.

It is very robust, and unless you are checking it as luggage on a plane trip, it will be fine. I don't know any hard case that would fit directly.

I haven't tested it to the breaking point, bit I carry a laptop, tablet and multiple products for work in it without issue. It has been very rugged so far.
1621289
Yes. We've carried and moved ours a good bit and it has not even dented. So I consider it rugged against teeth and general moving about.

I think it's ATA approved, not as a carry on, but in checked baggage, sure, it's a good case.

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.
