I'll be flying commercial with my skis for the first time in January. My local ski shop recommended these hard shell adjustable travel tubes for transport. They look great for what I need, however they cost more than what I was hoping to spend. Wanted to ask a few questions:
1.) Is there a general preference for soft or hard shell cases for air travel?
2.) Are the bindings at more of risk for being compromised or damaged with a soft shell case?
3.) Does being FAA approved significantly increase the price of either style case?
I'm new to this so thanks in advance for all advice and direction.
