I travel with mine almost every week.. I've never checked it... I have a road runner from GS for about $40 but have used the chipboard case as well. the FA's will usually let you put it in the front closet if you don't have room in the over head..
I've also bought one at a pawn shop and pre-agreed on the buy back price.. cost like $20 for a week when I returned it.. no need to have to sell it on CL..
