Is this case suitable for airline travel?

Probably not. If a lot of weight or stress is put on it, the latches can pop open. Its hard enough to protect whats inside, but it may open up.

Yes! I use mine for my to and from work commute with a change of clothes. It would fit under an airplane seat and follows all TSA size guidelines for carry on.

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.

Most definitely, the case is large enough to handle small items such as this. I don't feel that it is too bulky.I have my Magellan GPS 7 inch screen along with other items, and still have ample room.Very handy case for travel.

This is a great carrying case for a computer through airports however, it's capacity is limited as a carry on bag... Crush proof and fast access to laptop

Agree with answers from others. I have laptop with same dimensions (actually thicker) and it fits fine. This is really a useful case. I've used it for traveling every other week (flying) for the past year and it's performed well. Really like that it's TSA approved so I don't have to take the laptop out through security.

Should fit underneath but, the airlines will probably give you a dimension, just in case. as long as it's not bricks in your case it'll compress a little, too...Safe flight.

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 .

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?

I think I'd invest in a case made for airplane travel (plastic formed). This case is great for gigging and such, but I'd be concerned for airline travel, as the wood bracing the case would not hold up well under being thrown around, or being on the bottom of a stack of luggage.

All I can say is that it is more sturdy than some cases I know are TSA approved, so it SHOULD be, but the TSA is sometimes hard to satisfy and can be fickle. They may not accept it because it uses a combo rather than a key. I'd contact the airline or TSA directly if you have any doubt.

Based on my experience-absolutely! I fly between Seattle and San Francisco monthly and always take this bag (with my purse inside so I can also take my rolling laptop case). I put in on my back and roll my laptop case in as well. It will fit under the seat as well as the overhead bin. I fly Virgin America, Alaska, and Southwest. No questions and no problems. You will not regret getting this bag.

would not try it.glass side when folded is on the outside. the case is not tough/thick/stiff enough to handle airline handling.

I've had to Google the Travelpro, and I can't see why it wouldn't fit. As long as there is some rigidity in the case and the case is packed it should be fine. We use a very cheap handluggage case. I fill the case, nappies, spare clothes, to make sure the case doesn't collapse in on itself, not that it ever has!

Yes, it does meet SouthWest's carry-on size requirements. That said, however, I would say to travel with this case is at your own risk. As a carry on, it will survive, but if it ever goes with the baggage, I fear it would eventually break. While it is sturdy enough for personal, non-travel use, I would guess it isn't meant for heavy duty use. The foam pick-foam padding inside isn't the best, so only put things in there that aren't too critical. I store my old flash-guns for my film-cameras in mine. I rarely ever use them, unless I need to get extra light and I have used all my other flash-guns. I am not worried if the old flashes get banged around a bit more, but I would never transport my camera or lenses in this. Too risky!

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

In my opinion, absolutely not. It is a great case to bring your stuff to and from the 3D archery range, or even for hunting (while in your immediate control)...but definitely not strong or secure enough to keep your bows secure for airline travel. If you plan on traveling with your bow on an airline, invest in a much better case.
