I used the Orvis Safe Passage the one time I checked (Cuba). It made it through four checking/claiming cycles and nothing was damaged and the case doesn't even show signs of being banged around. If you have to check, I wouldn't worry if you use that.

--It's just considered one bag so you can carry a backpack as well. Granted, different airlines may view it differently and I have not flown them all, but I've never had issues. The only problem you might run into is if you board late and the overhead bins are full. Since its long, you have to find a relatively empty bin or a bin with shallow bags, not the regular roller carry ins. Worst case is you have to check it at the door, but it's structurally sound so your rods are still protected. I always keep it locked too.Make sure you don't leave a knife or other illegal objects in it!
Anderson ThomasSent from my iPhoneI feel like if I tried to carry on a backpack and the safe passage case, I would be tackled. Maybe y'all just have better luck in airports than me.Andy,When you carry that Safe Passage case, is it your only carry on or do you have a second bag also? Like a backpack........--On Thu, Mar 17, 2016 at 2:53 PM, Andy Thomas <andrsonevn@gmail.com> wrote:I invested in one of the Orvis Safe Passage Carry all's about two years ago. I use it more than I thought I would. It's even great for storing fishing gear at home. I've carried it on flights multiple times and, although a little awkward, it fits in the overhead compartments. I have the large one. Its also secure enough and stable if you were forced to check it, but I have never had too. So, if you are taking more than one rod and reel, this is a great option. It will everything you need and more. Several brands make them but after my research, I thought orvis was the best bang for my buck, especially given their customer service.--

I've never flown with my fly rods before as I typically fish close to DC (no further than PA, WV, VA, DE). I was considering shipping my rods out to GR rather than either trying to bring on the plane or packing in my checked luggage. Just wanted to hear about people's experiences and thoughts on the matter.
