can this withstand handling while transporting it in the airport? Pls answer ASAP thanks!

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.

I think so. It is made of hard plastic with two secure latches on either side of the carrying handle. The handle also has ahasp for a small lock.

I don't think it would make it. It is not that strong you need thicker plastic. My opinion it is for home use and gentle at that.

We generally detach it, and carry the cart on while gate checking the car seat. We did forget to detach it on one flight, and it survived in tact. I only wonder if leaving it attached when gate checking would eventually damage the cart. Hope that helps. We love this product!

Overhead or in seat, yes, but I would not depend on it to withstand conventional baggage handling.

Definitely not, especially with how much airport security has beefed up. You could probably leave it in the checked luggage though.

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?

You should be able to carry it on the plane. It's 35" long in its case. For the total linear length and weight it should be okay. However each airline is different I'd call the airline and ask

I think aluminum might dent and not be as shock resistant. Also I wonder if it might be a problem in airports. Just a thought. I hope you find what you are looking For.

It's not quite as sturdy as a hard case. I'm packing it into a moving van soon, though, and have no concerns. The case is high quality and very nice.

I wouldn't think so. The way the baggage handlers throw things around, it would probably crack. That's just my opinion, though. Good luck!

It is extremely durable. It is well built, I've dropped it off a table and had it slammed in a trunk and the only scar to come out of it has been my six year old breaking off the flimsy antenna that manufacturers put on most devices requiring a radio signal, but the radio still works flawlessly. In conclusion, yes it will withstand being knocked over as well as any other unforseen accidents.

No! I personally would not fly with it. It has clasps on it that are like clicking a dog collar. Several clasps make it sturdy for in and out of vehicles for daily gigs and it looks very nice and convenient . But, the baggage handlers would toss it like all the rest of luggage and your items and drawers will definitely break. Buy hard shell luggage and pack your items in baggies separated with bubble wrap.

Sorry. Pushed send too soon. If you freeze the bag ahead then pack it as you head to he airport, you should be fine. Carey it onboard. In 5-6 hours it should remain cool.

Definitely. I travel with it regularly and haven't had any trouble. Fits nicely in the overhead or under the seat.

Absolutely. I have carried it on over 30 flights in the last year. Never a problem.

It depends, if you are flying with it...it would get banged up pretty bad...but for backseat traveling it holds up pretty good.

I don't think so unless it is a very large piece of luggage. I would box it up and either ship it or see if you can take it on the plane.

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.
