You can always request red "Fragile" stickers from your airline when you check the baggage.

That way the handlers are *supposed* to recognize the contents are delicate.

thegreatestmusician: Your questions were already answered above.

David Spiegelthal:
"You needn't fear the cargo hold -- pack your instruments as if you were shipping them via the Postal Service or UPS -- keep them as usual in their cases, then pack the cases in a cardboard box with plenty of bubble-wrap or styrofoam peanuts around them. Make yourself a homemade strap-handle for the top of the box to make it easier to carry around the airport, then check the box as luggage. I travelled that way with a bari sax a few years ago and had no problems."

The temperature of the cargo area and passenger area are the same.
