may I use it on intenational flight ( checked to luggage storage) ? Is it hard enough and lockable?

It's not lockable. It's held closed with a large threaded nut. It's pretty tough and will protect your cymbals well. I wouldn't overfill it with cymbals though to be safe.

I guess you could check it. As for being lockable, only if you make modifications.

I am sure the answer is YES. I have bought this case, used it on the airline from FL to KS... No problem at all.Heavy duty, will take all abuse... It has 4 latches, and 4 holes you can use your own locks to secure

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.

It's a pretty sturdy case! I'm sure it could handle some bumping around. But I've seen the way some baggage handlers throw things around. I wouldn't chance it.

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.

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.

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.

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

I think it is fine for transporting locally, but the case is not rigid. I think a hard case would be safer for international flight.

I didn't use it on hard luggage so I wouldn't know. The straps might not fit due to the width.

you can take the bag on the plane as a carry on the problem with that is if somebody stuffs their carry on into the same compartment, you may risk damaging your unit.

Probably even in/on an ultra light. It's pretty small. Or do you mean can you put it into checked baggage on commercial air? I would imagine so, since there is nothing pressurized about it.Happy flying!J

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.

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

I used this as my carry on on a trip to Bostron it didn't rain but I think it would work ok, survived my trip without any damage and I can be hard on thins attached to my wheel chair good luck Susan

I can not see where it would be a problem as long as it was in your luggage and not in a carry on bag. I carry mine in a quart zip lock bag but have not taken it on a flight.

Can't take it on the plane as carry on but no problem with checked in luggage as told by TSA. Tried it with a cheap crimper and got confiscated. No big lost.
