Has anyone traveled with this rack by plane? And has anyone found a case that works well to carry it?

In the original packaging and disassembled I'm sure the rack would transport well since it breaks down quite small. Completely assembled it is quite large and would be pretty cumbersome, especially if it had clothing on the racks.

It would be tough to transport as the bars for the top rack are angled and long unless you kept the original packaging/box.

I've not travelled with ours, and have had a very hard time finding a box to store it in, since we threw out the box it came in, which was huge. Sorry! It's a great rack, but awkward!

It's perfect for that use. It may get a little banged up on the flight, but you can carry a lot. I used them to move abroad, and I'm very happy with them.

Hi - I own this unit and it's pretty good. I would not take it on a plane - it's awkward even folded up - the handle sticks out - I think you'd find it a real pain to try and fit - no flex.

Not sure I never traveled with it. I assume since it's flat and has no moving parts or sharp edges, it would not be a problem. Contact your airline they should be able to tell you?

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 have the NTi-S-703ML-M 7' model this the longest of the three sections is 30" and the case is about 32". It does fit well in the overhead compartment on a plane.

I'd agree...not very foldable. I don't know if this info is of any use, but I've had my M80 gate checked and also had it fit in an overhead storage on a flight (it takes up two overhead compartments being as long as it is). If your goal was to bring this case by plane, maybe that is of interest to you.

It's all aluminium casing, but I wouldn't say it would be sturdy enough to put in your luggage unless you had a very sturdy and heavily padded case to put it in. If I was going to take it on a plane I would take it as a carry-on just to be safe.

Yes. I have used this knapsack several times as carry on luggage and had no problem with airlines.

Yes, it's great. I carry my laptop, a binder and weekend clothes and carry on. My only issue is that the bag will not fit on the smallest jets, that check it as you are boarding, so I put laptop in a small neoprene case to carry on the plane with me in the few times it has been an issue.

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:)

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 used the case for my 17pound dog and found the zipper to not be strong enough for me to let it out of my site.i would ask airline if you have that ?.good luck

That depends on the airline. I did a gig in Vegas last year and they let me put it in the coat closet, when I played in Austin at SXSW, they made me check it. But I checked it at the gate with all the baby strollers. So it doesn't have to go through the airport luggage system. It's a great case and the reason I got it was because I knew that if I had to check the guitar, it would be safe.

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

I have not attempted to carry the case onto an airplane, but I can tell you that it is the same size as the carry-on luggage that I typically take on travel. Hope that helps.

I have not used it for flying. We use it to store the keyboard and accessories at home and transporting it to church and other events in the back seat or trunk. I would not use the case for flying my keyboard without wrapping the keyboard with bubble wrap or squishy foam. The construction of the bag seems sturdy enough for occasional travel. The two outside pockets store the power supply, additional cables and the attachable music stand. I would probably use bubble wrap around those as well before I'd fly with it.
