You'll love it. I've had mine about 5 years... to from Hawaii, Europe, Cruises... I have beat the shishi out of it and it looks great and is built like a tank. After you get the 3rd degree from TSA you'll be able to take/ship via air. Good price on it too. Handles have nice rubber pads and the wheels help move it around. I also looked at Gator and that company in NYC... Casino?
Enjoy and rock on!
