I just recently had a bad experience with this. For SBE, I flew American Airlines. I checked my cue case for $30. When I got home, my case was ruined. It was completely soaked through (it was a wave case), my zipper pockets were partially open and the strap broke off. Fortunalty, my cues were not damaged, but everything in the pockets were completely soaked. I brought the ruined case to AA baggage customer service at the airport & they told me to write a complaint letter. I threw the bag out when I got home. I just couldn’t deal with the added aggregation of battling AA about it. Two lessons:
1) if I can help it, I’ll not be flying with American Airlines again
2) next time, I will use some of the ideas in this thread such as the tripod tube or large suitcase
