Will you recommend the case for air travel? Can you put a lock on it?

If by air travel you mean being thrown around like luggage? Then I doubt it would hold up very long? Carrying from place to place? I don't see why it wouldn't hold up? Yes a lock could be put on

One of the latches has a place for a lock. I wouldn't recommend it for air travel . It would probably tear it up. This is a standard case, a good case , but not a airline case .

I would not recommend the case for air travel; a look could not be put on it. But I would recommend the case in general otherwise.

Yes, it is sturdy enough for air travel. There is a spot for a small pad lock on one of the clasps. I wouldn't say that it would provide impenetrable security but would deter most from trying to take a peak inside.

You can indeed put a lock on the case. This case more ideal for home storage and light gigging on the road, so I wouldn't recommend this case for air travel. For any frequent air travel, I'd recommend either a rugged hard-shell case made by SKB or Gator.

The case does not have a key-lock. There is a pad-eye on the case that will easily accommodate a small lock. The hasp next to the handle is the only pad-eye. I have not done air-travel with this case so I can not speak to that issue. It is a "cardboard" side box. Might now fair too well. You'll want a hardshell case most likely.

The case is a typical guitar case for carrying, but not heavy duty for checking baggage. No place for a lock.

That seems to be a common problem with this case. I traveled with mine last holidays, and even though it has just been sitting in the house all through, I discovered that the locking mechanism was not working. When I acquired it though, I tried it out and it was quite okay.

No it is not permitted for air travel. I keep mine in my check in case and use it at my destination.

Yes you can place a small lock on the case. I have a picture if you would like to contact me I'll send it to you.

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.

It can lock up to 5 places but what I can tell you that I wouldn't trust my ar in this case on a plane. The case is not made of a very strong plastic and I would expect it to break easily under pressure. I would recommend a stronger case for travel.

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:)

Yes you can. I use a luggage lock because the diameter of the hole is narrow.

I've never flown with it, but the case is pretty rugged. There is no lock on the case, so what happens to your instrument once you check it in is questionable. It would be difficult to fit the case under a seat or in the overhead. Also, you should know there is no storage room in the case, only room for one mouthpiece and the neck. All else goes in the bell.

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.

Yes. There is provision in the handle for a lock. I have traveled with it many times without a lock and have never had a problem. I can understand your concern with all the TSA stories.

I don't think it's really meant for flights. You will probably want something with metal edges and verticies; an ATA case.This case is great for gigs and packing your van up tight and neat.

Yes, there are places to use a small padlock on the side of the two flip locks. You could probably use a fairly substantial padlock, not just the little "Suitcase" locks. If you were traveling by air and were checking the case however you would not be a able to lock it with either the keyed locks or regular padlocks, you would have to use the TSA approved padlocks that can be opened with a special key. For other than traveling by air, any keyed or combination padlock that fit through the holes in the case would work.

Yes it has the capability to be locked. It's supposed to be one of the best gun cases for airline travel. I am 160 lbs and could stand on it with no damage my 3000 dollar rifles.

Don't remember if it comes with lock, however, you will need to use something TSA can open if you lock it. The zippers have holes to accomidate a small lock, but I have never locked it and have made two round trips without any problems.

Jason I forgot to mention the lock skb bag comes with a TSA type lock, which means TSA can access your case even when you have locked it. Good so you can have the case locked all of the time, bad that TSA employees can handle your beautiful guitar. Best to ship it, the lock really comes in handy then. Good luck

Perfect for air travel you can lock the case with TSA approved locks no problem
