Flight case

[lbpesq]

I thought this might be relevant here.  I'm flying cross country tomorrow night so I called Heritage to check on coverage for my Martin which will be making the trip in its Calton case.  My policy covers me if I carry the guitar on, but not if it goes under the plane.  Since I'm going to attempt to carry it on board, I won't know until I get to the gate whether they'll let me or make me gate check it.  If they make me check it, I will be able to email Heritage from the plane and they will insure it for $.50 per $100 value.  If they let me carry it on, my regular policy covers it and no extra charge.  Is that cool or what?
 
Bill, tgo

I orderd this case for my Epic from Maxline Custom Cases in Beaverton Oregon, at a cost of 360 dollars it was quiet a steal, and so far its held up well, it took a coulpe hard hits on the way to Baton Rouge this summer but it seems to be holding up well

All was well on my flight out here. I did incur an oversize luggage fee of $50, though. My Calton was not considered oversize. I guess if I could do again, I'd see about shaving a bit off the depth of the case.  That might get it under. I did think it would be more like Nick's case, however, I do think you could drop it out of the airplace with little to no ill effect!
