Is this approved for airline travel? Can it be locked securely with a padlock?

I do not believe you would want to use this on airplanes. It's fairly sturdy but I wouldn't depend on iit securing your gun through air traffic.

No, it doesn't lock 'open'. However, it is a good addition to working away from home especially on an airplane.

Yes, TSA Approved, only one padlock is required, however, 2 of the latches have key lockes in them as well as 2 places for 2 additional padlocks. Its a very nice unit, just wish the foam padding came pre cut out for scoped rifles.

This has a TSA lock. I know they have been able to open and then relock it based on the notification they leave when they have checked the contents.

I don't think it would be suitable for airline travel unless it was packed in another box. It could withstand a good bit of weight on it, and maybe the abuse, but no locking feature and sturdier means of securing the top sliding parts make it risky to say the least.

Yes, but I have never tried to fly with it. It utilizes two pad locks. It is the best non water tite case on the market in my opinion!!! With out a doubt!

Yes too big for most suitcases. And if you are flying TSA will break it off or cut open the suitcase to inspect, anyway. Not a TSA approved lock.

From the TSA website: "Travelers may only transport UNLOADED firearms in a locked, hard-sided container as checked baggage. The container must be completely secured from being accessed" If you can get a finger in the case while locked (by bending the case) it will probably be rejected. From the ticket counter, you will accompany the weapon along with a airline (or airline representative) to a TSA inspection station then, when the inspection is complete, you will lock the case (or you will witness the case being locked), using your lock(s). DO NOT USE TSA ACCESSIBLE LOCKS. The FAA requires that you, and only you have a key. Only you will retain the key. If you present your firearm for TSA inspection with a TSA accessible lock, they will almost always reject it and you will be stuck looking for another lock at the airport. The TSA and the FAA and the Airlines all have their hands in the rules regarding transportation of firearms. Check your airlines website for more information. Don't take my advice or anyone else's, look it up to be sure. Different airports and different TSA stations can handle the exact procedure differently. Lastly, there are no TSA approved locks, only locks that have special universal key slots and the TSA has keys to open them. Who knows how many other people have clones of these keys....

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.

It is pre-drilled for two padlocks left and right.It must be flown as checked baggage (unloaded), ammunition in separate locked box.you can't beat the price. Best bang for the buck!Most important, different airlines have different regulations.Call in advance and they will give you the specifics. All firearms must be checkedat the ticket counter, you cannot take it in the cabin. Make certain you call ahead!!

It can or you can lock it in I think. I love this. We just got back from Disney World and it was great for airport and the parks.

This can be pad locked with one of the thicker key locks. Master Lock 140Q Solid Brass Keyed Alike Padlock with 1-9/16-Inch Wide Body and 7/8-Inch Shackle, 4-Pack: http://www.amazon.com/Master-Lock-140Q-Padlock-16-Inch/dp/B0009V1WLQ/ref=pd_rhf_ee_s_qp_3_42EY As far as TSA is concerned, here is what they have on their website: Travelers must securely pack any ammunition in fiber (such as cardboard), wood or metal boxes or other packaging specifically designed to carry small amounts of ammunition. Firearm magazines and ammunition clips must be securely boxed or included within a hard-sided case containing an unloaded firearm. Small arms ammunition, including ammunition not exceeding .75 caliber for a rifle or pistol and shotgun shells of any gauge, may be carried in the same hard-sided case as the firearm, as long as it follows the packing guidelines described above. http://www.tsa.gov/traveler-information/firearms-and-ammunition

Yes I believe it can with a small padlock. Have not tried to but one like you can use on luggage might work.

I really don't think so. It's kind of like a typical suitcase. I put my keys on the top of all the other equipment.. The bottom is pretty solid...again, like a typical suitcases bottom/back side. It is a nice case...but I wouldn't trust any airline with it. (no offense baggage claim...but I've seen your work:)
