I have a few of these. One was broken during shipment, but they're typically very durable and good at protecting contents.

Pelican Case works as advertised!!

question

Has anyone tried to check this case fully loaded on an airplane? Did you have any troubles and around how much did it cost (I understand this will vary by airline ) ? thanks!
Asked by: Gavin D.
Yes, have checked this case many times. No troubles, but it's likely to be over 50lbs, and could be over 100lbs depending on contents. Normally this will be met with a fee of $50 or more, depending on the airline. That said, if the contents are valuable, the protection that this case provides are worth the fees, in my opinion.
