Flying with stuff
Flying from France, I couldn't get my 4-pcs fly rod nor my 5-pcs spin rod IN the plane, but could check it with the luggage.
And the reels were in my cabine luggage.
From Logan to Paris, I just put my new 8-foot 1-pc Tica in a cardboard tube, not even a scratch on it.
You never know what kind of person will check you in, or screen you and your luggage, so my .02 $ advice is that you be prepared for the worse : PVC tube
And if you're a frequent customer and have good relationships with a tackle shopkeeper, you could get one of these factory tubes for free (That's what they use to ship the rods from the factory to the shops, right, so they probably fly sometimes !)
And, by the way, many thanks to mr SALTWATER EDGE for the cardboard tube, it did fine, though inspected and re-wrapped in Logan.
