Is this bag suitable for airline travel? Will it and contents (with extra padding) survive baggage handling?

I would not chance it. It is too soft to face the airlines and too big for carry on.

Yes the material and designed of the bag is made for traveling. It is well worth the money paid, the most bang for the bucks Had one like it and with heavy use and age it was time to get a new one. Go for it you won't be sorry. I was impressed with the quality of the material, the price paid and it arrived at my door before it was expected.

It will be more than enough. In fact, I have the same laptop and used that bag when I first got it. I did however get a more TSA friendly bag for the airport. It's a little bit of a pain having to take everything out for the scanners. Other than that will fit everything, laptop, power cord, mouse, and still have room for books and such.

It's a pretty sturdy case! I'm sure it could handle some bumping around. But I've seen the way some baggage handlers throw things around. I wouldn't chance it.

Yes it will...there is a little bit of padding inside (mine, at least), but nothing heavy duty (padding wise)...but yea, it IS large enough and the bag itself should provide some protection as well...

Definitely it is a very sturdy and well padded bag.Your keyboard should stay safe in there during the flight

I have carried it as hand luggage in international flights (Brazil-USA, Brazil-Angola) and regional flights in Brasil.So far, no problem.

No. This is a travel bag for local travel. Plane travel requires extra padding and support as there is no guarantee that someone's luggage will not fall onto the board or a handler drops it rather than placing it. I used this bag for when I moved as I was able to monitor the movers when they loaded the truck.

It's really for travel; small enough for flights (as hand-carry luggage), durable enough for hikes. Had mine for 3 years and it's still intact.

The bag has rigid sides and bottom and covered by nylon, it is not heavily padded.I have used it several times and store soft items ( jackets, ggloves, etc.) At the bottom to protect any sensitive cargo with no issues.

I'd say so. I have a 15" and had to add a few inches of padding to keep it from sliding back and forth. I travel a fair amount ( a couple flights a week) and this bag is holding up better than any bag I've owned. Sets easily on top of a roller bag so its one-handed through the airport. Plenty of pockets to keep even the most OCD happy.

This bag will easily handle some textbooks.....this is my "airport" bag and I carry 2 days of clothing, scuba reg, dive computer,dive mask, snacks, books and personal items in it when I am traveling to dive sites.

Yes it will,only depends on how you'll pack it.It's not a large bag but will modestly hold mentioned items.Loved the overall build material ;-)

Absolutely. Have taken on many flights and it just barely fits within airline regulations, albeit only in the softcase that comes with it. If they give you a hard time, just insist that they measure it or just insist period. It is a musical instrument that shouldn't be stored in the belly of the plane (though it is sturdy enough I think it would survive just fine as long as it doesn't get crushed by shifting luggage) and it fits easily in the overhead compartments anyway. Like I said, I never had any problem and I've taken it even on international flights. No biggie.

Yes I have traveled a few times with this case on airlines without any issues. It meets TSA travel requirements. Make sure to check your carrier guidelines since they may vary, but for the most part have it in your check in baggage and notify the attendee during check in and they will provide you with a card to fill out. It is perfect for flying.

I believe it can withstand normal transportation. However, I would not turn it over to the airlines with a weapon inside for transportation. It is not designed for airline transportation. The ad should indicate such.
