Which is precisely why I got a Voyage-Air guitar. I have to fly a lot, and for years I used a Calton case. Excellent piece of gear for protecting my guitar. But the Calton case doesn't do a damned bit of good if the guitar is misplaced or doesn't show up at baggage retrieval. I would eventually get the guitar 2 or 3 days after the gig was over, but I had to rely on the generosity of friends to do the job. Apologies from the airlines and a $100 voucher. But with the Voyage-Air, the guitar fits in a hard backpack and goes in the overhead bin. Haven't had a problem for the last 3 years
