I'm not real comfortable with checking my cues in at the airport. Locked or unlocked the airport security still has full access. You can circumvent this by traveling with a firearm. I have a hard rifle case that would hold my cue and case along with an unloaded bb gun or a black powder derringer . If you fly with firearms you have to supply your own case and locks and secure it in front of the attendant before it goes on the conveyor. The case in the attached photo below is from Walmart has three areas for locking with your padlock. The other photo is a parts exploded view of a derringer that you can buy for about $20.00 on Gunbroker.com or use any firearm you have that won't take up room in the case. Understand you may have to surrender it when entering a foreign land so check the laws. You can cut out the foam inside the case to accept your case with enough room for other items of value you may not want to check in. It's a no brainer. I'm hearing that FedEx is a good move to forward your cues to whatever destination but understand that to be expensive. The other side of the coin is you'll be traveling with a rifle case so maybe some will think you're armed and not to be messed with.
