Got a fancy Hiscox case for my main steel-string. Nice case, and ultra-tough, but (a) it's big, and (b) it's damn heavy. Both factors to be taken into account if you need to carry it some distance.

One thought - Tom Paxton has a song called "Thank you Republic Airlines". Apparently he was off on tour, opened up his guitar case in the airport, and found the baggage handlers had actually managed to break the guitar neck! He went to complain, and the airline rep said, "Well, how do we know it wasn't like that when you put it in there?" Yeah, right.

On a more optimistic note, my little classical survived Greek baggage handlers clad only in an almost unpadded gig bag. So miracles do happen...
