Check airline rules before booking
Confirm size and weight limits for every flight segment. Identify the tube and use a closure that cannot open during handling.
Maximum protection
Prepare the tube for baggage handling
Immobilise sections, protect guides and leave no loose objects inside. Photograph the packed rods and closed tube before check-in.

Plan from booking to baggage reclaim
Read the conditions for every flight before booking and check them again before departure, especially oversized-baggage rules. Secure the sections and closure, label the tube and photograph its condition before check-in.
