Flight cases are the heavy armor of the case world. Built for airlines, trucks and constant loading, they protect when everything else fails.
What makes a flight case
- Aluminum or plywood frame with metal corners.
- Recessed or butterfly latches.
- Foam-lined interior with instrument cradles.
- Wheels and handles for heavy loads.
Tour-grade details
- Stackable corners for truck packing.
- Replaceable hardware — field-serviceable latches.
- Interior humidity control for wood instruments.
When to choose flight
For checked airline luggage, tour trucks, and long production runs. For local gigs, a flight case is overkill — choose semi-hard instead.
