It is rather strange the way it is, in my opinion. If you plan to just use it around home, you can care for it well enough that it won't get damaged. But if you plan to travel with it, be prepared for it to get scratched and cracked. The airline staff don't care and it will get thrown around. Also scratched it a few times ourselves when we were in a big hurry to get it folded up and on a bus.

I've dropped mine......no problem........I wouldn't drop it out of an airplane though.

Hi Linda,I take on the plane all the time and never had a problems the 5 or so years that I've had it. It is small enough to fit in the overhead compartment with other stuff on top of it too.

I wrapped mine in a towel and checked it in my luggage during a deployment overseas. It handled loading, transport, and unloading with no issues. The screen is not glass, but it is definitely not fragile. I can post pictures if you need.

No this would not be safe for use on an airplane. Depending on the age and size of your child, you should have a carrier or sturdy seat with proper restraint capabilities. Consult with your physician or the airline on suitable options.

As far as I know, you'd have to check it as baggage. It's sturdy as heck, but it's definitely on the large side, and I think guitars generally have to be checked anyway. When in doubt, check with your airline.

No, I would not trust an airline with this item. Nor would I put a lot of weight on top of it. Especially the "see through" top part.

We carried ours on once and checked it at the gate a few times. They always offered to check it, so I don't think it would be an issue.

We bring it right down the jetway and gate check it like you would a stoller. We carry my cushion onboard and we have never had a problem.

No, not at all. We got through at least 4 security checks with no issue. I had it in my purse through the first check and when we realized it wouldn't fit on the airline we were flying (Etihad) we kept it in our carry on for the rest of the trip.

Really it depends on the TSA person and the airport your going on. If its a smaller airport probably if its one like LAX probably not. I would put it in my checked luggage just to be safe.

no. It does have some holes (3) which allow you to put a bolt and nut to secure it so that TSA can open it if necessary to inspect it, with damaging it.

So I have never been on a plane but I'm assuming there might be a far amount of banging around with the case and questionable actions with it. I would trust it. I had my $800 Taylor in mine and it fell out of the bed of my truck on to the highway and might have got it, when I went back and got it the case was scuffed up which is what was to be expected but my guitar didn't have a single scratch and the case was still in fair condition. So I would say yes to airplane travel. Sorry about the bird walk

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.

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.

I took it on a plane this summer, and left it in my carry on to go through screening. No problem
