Question Taking a 24 inch monitor on a flight

[reddragon214]

Hi Guys,

Do you think I should pack my monitor in the original box and put it inside my luggage and check it in or check it in as a separate baggage? I will be having one transit. Do you think it would be safe putting a fragile sticker on the box and checking it in separately? Does the airport handle it care? Please input your suggestions.

Thank you

Do that.

FEDEX/UPS, insured for whatever you think it is worth.
This is what they do. This is how thousands of 'monitors' are shipped across the world every single day.

Have you never been to the airport and have a delay?
The luggage handlers destroy good luggage built for the abuse.
Your cardboard box does not stand a chance.
Pack it in the original box and ship it for sure if you want it to work when you get there.
You can ship it to most FedEx/UPS offices/stores for pick up after you arrive.

With how much it can cost you to ship this monitor, is this a higher end gaming one? Compare cost of shipping vs just buying a new one when you get to where you are going.
