I have a Johnson Travel Guitar for sale if you fancy. Amazing, much nicer tone than the Martin. Its absolutely pristine. Have a look at the reviews.

I have pretty extensive experience of travelling with guitars and you really need to take a flight case if you want to be absolutely sure your pride and joy gets to the other end in one piece. Undo all the strings so the neck isn't under tension when it gets flung around.Most airlines charge a flat rate for musical equipment these days so the extra weight of a flight case isn't an issue. Assuming you are flying of course.

Have you looked at a lapstick?

Not that I have any direct experience of them, but I'll mention the Busker Canon. They import the Michael Messer resonators and seem to be getting good reviews.

I have a Martin backpacker (Steel Strung) but I wouldn't recommend them.
The small body makes it uncomfortable to play and the sound is a bit tinny.

Surely the whole point of a travel guitar is that you can take it hand luggage - that's what my boss does with his, and doesn't seem to have problems.
