I use a large rolling duffle. Fits all my clothes, cue case, etc. I've also seen plenty of folks check their case by itself. I was actually surprised in Vegas by the number of cases that just came flopping out at baggage claim. https://www.walmart.com/ip/PROTEGE-...Pc5QEl-15fkruigJsz8aAgZiEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.dsI know airplanes makes one check their cues now as they could be weapons. I'm thinking my golf club travel bag with my clothes wrapped around the cue case. Any ideas to keep the cues safe?
I’m headed to Vegas in august for APA but I can’t get myself to check my cues.I simply don’t trust that they’ll safely arrive in Vegas when I do ( I probably could’ve given myself better odds by having a longer layover then one hour) I figured I’d fed ex them right to the westgate and scoop them up right when I check in.

I think if you check in a rolling duffle or a golf club hard case with the approved TSA locks, the cues will be all right. I know I'm only packing the cues I'll be using ( not the expensive ones). I also have the golf driver pulled out locking length device that fits in the bag. Can find it in Amazon.I’m headed to Vegas in august for APA but I can’t get myself to check my cues.I simply don’t trust that they’ll safely arrive in Vegas when I do ( I probably could’ve given myself better odds by having a longer layover then one hour) I figured I’d fed ex them right to the westgate and scoop them up right when I check in.

There are literally hundreds upon hundreds of people taking their cues. Don't sweat it. They'll make it. I've gone to Vegas every year for almost a decade and treat my cues like my toothbrush. Checked bag makes it to vegas. I'd roll the dice with a plane vs fedex any day. If the plane loses your bag for a bit, they'll deliver it to your hotel.I’m headed to Vegas in august for APA but I can’t get myself to check my cues.I simply don’t trust that they’ll safely arrive in Vegas when I do ( I probably could’ve given myself better odds by having a longer layover then one hour) I figured I’d fed ex them right to the westgate and scoop them up right when I check in.

I was recently travelling and a friend sent a package to my hotel. It was marked as delivered by the tracking info. The hotel claims they never saw it.I’m headed to Vegas in august for APA but I can’t get myself to check my cues.I simply don’t trust that they’ll safely arrive in Vegas when I do ( I probably could’ve given myself better odds by having a longer layover then one hour) I figured I’d fed ex them right to the westgate and scoop them up right when I check in.

I am willing to drive for 3 days to avoid flying commercial.I know airplanes makes one check their cues now as they could be weapons. I'm thinking my golf club travel bag with my clothes wrapped around the cue case. Any ideas to keep the cues safe?

Living in central Texas allows the lower 48 under the above guideline.
So.... please tell us how you fly with your cues (or maybe you don't fly)? Everyone MUST check them in as checked- in baggage.Nothing of value to you leave your control. Aircraft baggage handler don’t care if they loose, destroy, on put on wrong aircraft.
Told you so don’t cry when they destroy or loose your stuff.

Amazon has them.I haven't flown in years, never with pool cues. Where do you buy TSA locks?
Thanks.Amazon has them.
Some of the smaller to mid size locks in your local stores will be TSA locks as well, you just have to look at the front of the packaging and it will say it usually fairly prominently as a selling point if it is. And if the TSA locks aren't mixed in with the rest of the locks they could sometimes be over by the travel items like suitcases and electric plug adapters and such.I haven't flown in years, never with pool cues.

Thanks.
Here is an interesting video about TSA locks.... The travel bag has two zippers that I put a TSA approved lock on.
