is this case good enough for checked baggage in flights?

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.
238005
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?!
238006
It's not designed for it. You could try to use it that way, but you'd be taking a chance. I wouldn't risk it personally. But it's good enough for what it is, protection for locally hauling around a T-bird. If you plan on flying with a bass, I'd recommend either investing in a true flight case for your T-bird, or get a Jazz and get an ATA case for it.

No. It might be OK if you check it in the cardboard box it ships in, but the case would more than likely be damaged without it, and there is nothing to keep the latches popping open.

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

I don't think the case would survive the baggage handlers. The material is strong and the padding good, but I don't think the zipper could take it.

Yes, checked baggage would be best because the lackeys at TSA are apt to not let something through that they don't know what it is. If you are tacking in your baggage it would be best to take an unopened bottle.

It is probably checkable but soft bag would not protect it. Maybe the airline would store it in the front of airplane like they do strollers! It would b worth asking!

I am almost certain this would have to be checked in. The pictures don't give you a true idea of how big this case is, it's a monster. I have not been on a flight in about 6 years, and I don't think this would be allowed as carry on, but I could be wrong. Please let me know if I can be more help. I did a lot of research on this case and others, and buying this case was a little bit of a gamble, but so far I have no regrets buying it.

It is 38x15x6 and would not check it as baggage. I would carry it on board or not take it at all. It is a thin nylon with no lining so it can fold and flop around, not sturdy. I use it to store my keyboard at home. I also bought foam rubber at a fabric store to pad it to make it more sturdy. It isn't padded as the ad says, just a cheap nylon lining that isn't very protective. Buy extra padding. However it holds my keyboard, power supply, pedal, music stand, music books on the outside pockets, and my folding stand for it also headset and mike. Holds a lot but get extra padding or find a hardcover one for shipping.

Yes, and a very well designed case. I use mine on trips all of the time take a look at the bag on the Think Tank web site to make sure it addresses your needs.

Confirm with the TSA - I do believe so. But I would recommend always using a rigid and rugged case. Have you ever watched how they handle your luggage?

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.

Yes you may use that with Check bags.TSA has master keys to open it,if they need to.you can keep your key.

It's all aluminium casing, but I wouldn't say it would be sturdy enough to put in your luggage unless you had a very sturdy and heavily padded case to put it in. If I was going to take it on a plane I would take it as a carry-on just to be safe.

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

It's perfect for that use. It may get a little banged up on the flight, but you can carry a lot. I used them to move abroad, and I'm very happy with them.

Yes this case is TSA airline approved and you can place two padlocks on this case. It also has locking latches with its own keys.

http://www.tsa.gov/traveler-information/checkpoint-friendly-laptop-bagsAccording to the above information it seem like this laptop case meets the criteria. However, because it's TSA there are no guarantees even if your laptop bag is approved.

Probably depends on the airline, but it is highly likely to be assessed an 'odd shaped baggage fee.' Also, as sturdy a unit as it is, there's still question as to whether it would survive the luggage handling. Bottom line is 'check with the carrier.'

Both my wife and I have these cases for our cameras. You'll be amazed by how much equipment and accessories it accommodates. Also, the generic nature of the case avoids announcing its contents as does the camera brand gadget bag. Keep in mind that, at least for me, the size assists in prioritizing what is truly necessary to tote. Another advantage to its compactness is that it fits into a carry-on bag giving you the opportunity to travel with less pieces. That being said, I suggest printing your name and cellphone number inside just in case, as happened to me, TSA removes the case from your carry-on for inspection and your gear gets left behind. Fortunately, TSA turned my case over to the airport police and I retrieved it upon my return.
