Commercial air travel with a speaker
Does any member have experience flying domestic US commercially with a hifi speaker? Willing to buy a seat/ticket for it, I just don't want to be halfway across the country and have issues. TSA looks to be OK with it. Any real-world experience out there?
You can get around cheaper by sending it with cargo airlines to the same destination and then picking it up from the cargo airline pick-up areas. You might not be in synch with arrivals, but certainly less hustle I've used cargo airlines on many occasions. I shipped huge R2R player (around 85lb) with cargo airlines so the customer could claim it from there. Couldn't find any safer and cheaper way indeed.

@testpilot is correct. Airlines might not accommodate speaker even if the seat is purchased as it cannot be rested securely on the airplane seat that meant to hold a person secured with the seat belt. |
