What is the best way to transport? should i just put my case in baggage claim? I was considering a bat bag, any suggestions?

In a hurry.. you can also go to any Big 5 or like sporting goods store and get a Hockey gear bag. Plus, they have built in wheels. I usually just put all my clothes in with my cue case. (That way it's extra convenient for them to lose all my gear in one shot! :)

Since you can't carry it on, either put it in a good protective case and pack it surrounded by your clothes, or ship it insured via USPS, Fedex, UPS, etc. to the destination.
 
I use a canvas duffle bag with the side zipper locked down to the D ring with a TSA approved combination lock. Just throw the cue case in there with your clothes and you're good to go.
 
In my humble opinion carrying a canvas or cordura bag padlocked asks a thief to slit the material to see what it holds or simply steal the entire bag. A padlocked Pelican type case is pretty cumbersome, and you may be charged extra for a second piece of checked luggage (check with your airline to be sure).

I'm going to the Philippines for a month and I want to take a 2 X 4 with two cues and an empty case to store possible cue purchases. I also want to bring clothes for a month and several pair of shoes. I decided on the 36" Samsonite bag that Samm Diep sells. It holds two cases or more in a separate compartment, is made for stout, and is said to be the best out there. On sale now from Samm at $143. She says hers has traveled many a mile and she likes this one the best of all she carries. I also looked at Cabelas and their Alaskan Guide duffel looks great too but it's $200 for the big one. Either way insure the luggage ;) !
