 Re: Ship it or check it...

I once traveled by airline with a bari sax. I put some bubble wrap around the instrument itself to secure it inside its hard case, then packed the hard case in a cardboard box as if I were shipping it, with more bubble wrap around the case. For lugging it through the airport I made a temporary handle for the large cardboard box using an old belt, and I checked the contraption as luggage (after removing the belt). It arrived in perfect shape (both coming and going). At some point in its return trip the TSA inspectors opened the box and case, took a look around and left a nice note explaining what they had done. Everything had been neatly re-packed, no harm done.
