I took a 1935 King Symphony Bass in an original wooden case to Frankfort. Germany and back in May. Add as much foam around the horn as you can. I purchased cheap foam in the form of a mattress pad at Wal-Mart.... about $10. Don't depend on the stock latches to remain closed. Buy some luggage straps and bind the case around the short way twice and around the long way at least once. Don't be surprised if they want to open the case to have a look inside so don't simply tape it shut. If your number comes up to have your stuff opened, you cannot have it back to make sure it is packed proberly. Make the packing and straps so an idiot can reassemble the case.
