Hi All, | Hi All, | ||
I have been waiting to add this for a while or at least until I could make sure they would hold up. Here is the issue with all hard shell transport cases fort he L1s I have seen so far. First, according to the airlines, they surpass the checked luggage requirements of most all major airlines (50lbs or less and 62" measured length+width+height). | I have been waiting to add this for a while or at least until I could make sure they would hold up.

I first tried airline travel with the box the are shipped in and got charged $100 by Delta (different airlines have different fees). I then looked at gun cases and all of their variations. The airlines apporve gun cases that hold up to 2 rifles. The thing is that I'm not carrying rifles and don't want to try tricking the airlines. It's destined to fail. Those that meet ailine regulation were flimsy. | I first tried airline travel with the box the are shipped in and got charged $100 by Delta (different airlines have different fees).

So, here is my solution. Fishing rod cases. The ones in the photos I got from Bass Pro Shop/ Outdoor World for $36 each. I duct tape them together to form one case. It weights 48lbs and is under the oversized baggage restiction anyway you want to measure it. The have been on 6 trips with my by airline and have help up perfectly.<br /> http://www.basspro.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/Produc...&cmCat=SearchResults | |||
