I guess we'll just have to wait and see..... I'd bring the odyssey case on board the plane and hopefully they won't make me check it in.
I wish I had investigated whether or not they sell cases that you can LOCK, so that the records can't be stolen (unless they just steal the whole case).

ALSO, so what did Tiesto and Oakenfold do when their records were stolen in Toronto's airport??? How did they perform that night?? Or did they cancel their shows???

it's more often than not that they would just steal the whole case and not just a few records
although a lock could help to deter people from walking off with your case

Yeah I wouldn't really feel all too comfortable with a full record case in a flimsy little overhead compartment right above my head. A little turbulence and *bang* you're dead. Death by Vinyl. How ironic.

I dont see how a lock deters people from stealing at a place like an airport. Say it were from a local party, where it would be a grab and run, as opposed to a pick and place, walk away, work on it....

Get a record bag and carry it with you at all times. A bag doesn't look as heavy and bulky as a metal record case and hence it is less likely that you will have to have it weighed and have to check it in.

Let's see....Tiesto flew in from Tokyo and there are a few stops here and there...take the number of workers at the airport who's responsible for the transfer of the baggages... divide it by the number of people who knows what DJing and how precious records are...and the possibility of someone breaking that pathetic lock, taking a few gems out, is in fact pretty high..

I know for a fact that Tiesto lost a few gems when he touched down in Toronto as he had to score some vinyls from a local store..

So my advice once again....use a box and lotsa tape...don't even reveal that sparkle your pretty record box emits..

thats why my plain black road case is soo great!
