I also had enough adventures with airlines and with my luggage. In view of all info I obtained from this correspondence (thatks to all who replied again!) I conclude that I need to buy a good plastic case and to ship it with UPS, insured. This seems to be the only reliable way. If I don't want to risk my sextant seized somewhere in the middle of the way. Even if I can sue the airline after that and win, this is a small consolation. Alex.
