Double Bass EUBs on a plane

[basss]

Anyone fly with an EUB? I have a couple fly dates coming up and will most likely rent an acoustic bass but was thinking about taking my Azola. Wondering if/how other do it. Hard case options?

SKB makes some good ATA golf club cases. They work well with the Azola gigbag and a little extra foam (or clothes) and golf clubs often fly free or for less than a musical instrument.

Thanks - Description says it works with 48" clubs. My Azola Bugbass is 53" not including the bag. Have you used this one yourself?

My NXT came with a ski case courtesy the prior owner.
It's extensible (telescopes) and can be locked at various lengths.
I'll try to get you a link...

Not with the Bug I had a flight case built for mine. The Eminence I had briefly that made me think of this needed the neck removed to fit the golf bag case. If I'd been completely awake when I posted I'd have remembered that. Still I had the neck off my Bug several times and it's no big deal. Just throwing it out as an option that may be pretty cost effective and fairly easy to deal with.

These:
Black/Blaze Hard Sided Cases
seem to vary mostly by width; not sure which mine is but I'm guessing the "Series 2" until I can verify dimensions.
Any color you want as long as it's black or orange.

Lookie here -- I know diddly about Azola basses, but it appears there is at least one model that fits in at least one model of SKB case:
