best way is to mail me all the cues you are thinking of taking with you. I'll hold onto them for you, try them out, and then return them. This way you don't have to worry about them getting damaged by baggage handlers.
Think you have to check them. I'd get a very good case, something aluminum more than likely would work the best. Doubt they'd let you take them in pvc. You could always send them by mail to your hotel like many people do with golf clubs.

Stick the Hagar in a duffel bag stuffed with your clothing.
I typically carry mine in Longoni hard case inside Porper soft travel case. I wrap the Longoni case in bubble wrap and make sure porper soft travel case is full with Styrofoam popcorns. On the way back from Thailand, I throw away the bubble wraps and Styrofoam popcorns and replace them with clothes I buy from there.
All my checked travel bags are locked with TSA approved locks.
you can
put them in a case, then that case in a large suitcase surrounded by your clothes. Watch the weight limit. You can box them and ship them ahead, in a case, also. If you do that, coming back you can hand carry the box repackaged and relabeled and check it as an additional piece of luggage.

Hello Masonh
Here's my thread http://forums.azbilliards.com/showthread.php?t=88006
I faced the same problem and i had many replies on it. I concluded on a timberland 36" duffel which worked just perfect. Very beautiful one, roomy to hold my case and my cloths. Plus there an extra compartment under main comp. for dirty clothes or shoes which gives extra protection since case is placed at the bottom of main compartment. Hope it helped. Costas

you can carry them on. at least you could a few years ago. I had a 3x7 instroke. the only thing I can tell you not to do, is when you go through the security check and they ask you what it is, dont say it is your bazooka. bad place for that joke.

Not since 9/11 could you take a cue on board. I think it is ridiculous, but since this world has quite a few idiots, everyone mustplay by the same rules. I hate baggage handlers just tossing my Lambros around plus they know what is in the case and stealing one isn't out of the question. Good luck getting the airline to repay you for an expensive cue.
Try one of these outside your normal case and check them in.

This is the way I travel with my cues also. I have a Porper travel bag, but everyone knows what that is, expecially when traveling to a destination airport where there will be a large traffic of cues. I find it best to not advertise.RascalDoc said:

check any of the other dozen posts on this topic. Better yet, I'll save you some time...NO
Yea when going to Vegas, I had to box mine up with few other friends pool case. Padded all the pool case and put it in a cardboard box. I wrote on the box FRAGILE everywhere. Even wrote what was inside. Went to the airport and told them to put that sticker "Fragile." When we got there, saw the box and it was clean with no dents or anything.
