What are suggestions for getting one pool cue going with a person, on a flight? Want to make sure it’s well taken care of. TIA

Good tip. Why risk a hi-dollar cue when a 100buck sneaky will work.My constant advice on traveling with a cue, if situation suits it, bring a non-main playing cue along with a 2nd or 3rd favorite shaft for travel. It's not a great chance of luggage getting lost, but even a small chance of losing a custom cue or something you are fond of is not really worth it if you have backup equipment. Only time I bring my main cue along is when I'm driving. Even if you don't have a second cue, buy a cheap thing that matches the pin of the shafts, McDermott Lucky cues make great travel cues.
Not much better than trusting the airlines. I wouldn't do it.You can always ship the cue to your hotel.
I remember reading a long time ago about putting a starters pistol in you luggage AND legally disclosing it is there. The suitcase then gets very special treatment and is very unlikely to be opened or tampered with by any airline handlers...Perhaps it is not worth the hassle but it sounded semi reasonable to me at the time...
I do know of a former pro here in NC that had a Schon that he used for over twenty years. He had flown numerous times with it in a checked bag with no issues. Then it happened his bag showed up with no pool cue in it. He went through hell trying to find that cue and even offered a large reward to anyone with no questions asked, all to no avail... At the same time I know of a member here that flies worldwide with a SW with ivory inlays and has never had an issue for many, many years..
Can't do it now.In 2008 I checked my instroke case from Nashville to Seattle. It was fine.
The same flight had about six guitars in the cabin. Guitars make excellent weapons in three ways:. As clubs, garroting wire, and being poorly played by guys with bad voices and man buns.
Better have a stout case. Couple friends had cues in Instrokes in the past and they got snapped like twigs. Baggage handlers/loaders are morons. Plastic tube in a carry-on duffle works better imo.In 2008 I checked my instroke case from Nashville to Seattle. It was fine.

I don't know the policy at Westgate (APA events). Check if your hotel charges for accepting packages.Not much better than trusting the airlines. I wouldn't do it.
I'd be afraid of theft. Wouldn't trust them with a package. I'd just take 100$ sneaky.I don't know the policy at Westgate (APA events). Check if your hotel charges for accepting packages.
That's why I have an Air Tag and Tile tracker in my cue case. $60 for both gives me some peace of mind.I'd be afraid of theft. Wouldn't trust them with a package. I'd just take 100$ sneaky.
