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

I think it would be highly impractical -- very well built and, consequently, heavy. Not made for a case.

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 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 have not done any air travel with the bag, but I have had it on a few trips and it has been great. I too fish with some expensive rods, Sage Z Axis, Orvis Helios, etc. I think it is a great gear bag. No complaints from me.

Mine did... that's one of the reasons I chose this one. I've had 2 and have been very happy with it. The case has wheels on one end and a handle on the other. It also has a handle in the middle so it can be carried off the ground. The box is nice but it isn't something I'd want to ship check on a plane as I don't think it is very durable.

I've used it several times as a carry on without any problems. Only once was I asked to check it right before I walked on the plane but only because the storage bins were all full. Flying out again in two weeks so I'm curious to see anything has changed as of dec 2nd.

Yes! I used this case to transport 2 rifels from AZ to PA and back. Worked great.

No problem taking it on the plane. It fit fine, but some problem with it flipping to the side during a long flight.

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.

It works great for travel! Its slim enough to fit under a plane seat and holds everything you need!

Hi - I travel a lot on airplanes and it is holding up well at present. It holds a lot of equipment, and lots of straps to make it secure. Not got a motorcycle but think it would work fine.

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

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

I am almost certain this would have to be checked in. The pictures don't give you a true idea of how big this case is, it's a monster. I have not been on a flight in about 6 years, and I don't think this would be allowed as carry on, but I could be wrong. Please let me know if I can be more help. I did a lot of research on this case and others, and buying this case was a little bit of a gamble, but so far I have no regrets buying it.

I can attest to that. I recently flew international and needed to bring this computer. I took the plastic handles off to fit it in my suitcase. Security took it somewhere for additional checks and then wrapped it in 2 layers of bubble wrap (no box) and flew/shipped it to me. The case had been dented, dropped multiple times, one of the thumb screws half worn away by friction! I was livid. Anyway the case is still fine. Only problem was I used the wrong screws to mount the 3.5 hd so it came loose and shook around. Anyway I reassembled it all, stress tested it, and all is fine. After that it was in the back of my friends trunk next to toys and bikes for his kids. It rattled around and one almost accident it flew against the bike, the entire side of the case got scratched up. Still worked fine. So if you actually move with the box it came in, properly secure the hd, and make sure the thumb screw that locks down the pcie cards is tight, you can probably throw this thing down the stairs.

It should work just fine. I do not have the luggage rack but there is some extra room. I really like the quality of the cover - very pleased with my purchase

Hello Jarrad. I have traveled with it now for some months. It is fairly durable. It's a little bulky for my comfort and doesn't sit on my hips too well (5'3" 120 lbs) . But, should do the job fairly well.
