Re: Equipment cases and airline travel

remember the 50 pound limit.  Otherwise you get dinged for overweight.  

No experience with Gator cases.  But make sure whatever case is certified for flying - especially if flying out of North America.  I got what I think is a great deal from Dinosaur Cases in Vancouver BC.  Custom made cases for what would be around $350 USD.  VERY VERY heavy duty.

Mine don't have the dorky dinosaur on the outside
