Rather than, or in addition, to slacking the strings, I'd add a plastic protector between frets and strings. I've checked guitars before and added impact indicators of various values. While the case and guitar were fine afterwards, all indicators went off, so you know they still don't handle them gently. Case in point (pun intended) the pedals that moved in the case...

I flew multiple times this summer with a guitar, mandolin, and a pedalboard, on top of regular travel luggage. I checked a suitcase and my board, shuffled over to my gate with a backpack and the two instruments, and gate checked the guitar (in a mono soft case and insured for peace of mind). Nothing was ever damaged, but due to a glitch in the system on one flight my board and luggage were left behind, and then sent to a different state. Spent a day on the phone with the airline trying to get them to find my gear and get financial compensation for the stress. Started packing a smaller board in a bit larger of a suitcase after that.

Talking about transporting gear . . . I once asked my father in law to ship my Guild S300 back to me, from Australia to the UK. He packaged it really carefully, but I forgot to remind him to loosen off the string tensions. Following its long journey in very cold storage temperatures, it nevertheless arrived safe and sound - albeit with the head stock completely sheared off.

Not music related but years ago I flew with my director and a couple of my team Gatwick to Boston Logan off to demo a new system we'd developed. It used a very expensive plotter. All packed up and put in oversize as Gatwick. In Boston my two guys head off to get it from over size reclaim as my boss and I wait at the normal carosel. That starts and first item to tumble the 2m from the top of the shoot? Yep the £12k plotter 🤦🏼♂️. Miraculously it still all worked.

I see you are more comfortable recording yourself with your phone while traveling (seemingly) alone by car. Looking away at the screen to check your image and all. Your videos and music are great, don't take the chances of injuring yourself and others so lightly.

We played a festival in Poland and I remember watching both my amp head and two guitars trundle up a conveyor, then fall about 3 metres as they'd not parked it close enough to the aircraft's hold. Decent flightcases helped but the amp was never fully reliable afterwards, always slightly temperamental. Surprisingly, both Gibson Les Pauls didn't snap at the headstock, but they were well packed.

Slacking of strings helps relieve excess tension on the strings when temperatures drop and can help prevent both string and neck neck breakage if luggage (guitar case) shifts or falls over. If you have a jarring shift or fall over in the case with excess tension on the strings and the neck, well many of us have seen what happens. I do suggest that when you slack off the strings that you wrap them in paper because the strings are now lying and rubbing against your frets and can cause unwanted wear on nickel frets. You do not need to worry about this with stainless steel frets as they are much harder than the strings.

My biggest travel panic wasn't the airline. We got to the US and discovered that my multi effects unit just woukd not work at 110v 60Hz. Luckily this was discovered in time to arrange for a step up transformer at the gig but it emphasised the need to plug everything in when you arrive at your destination and far enough in advance of the gig to deal with any crisis. I was at the Noah Guthrie gig when Rhett Shull's pedal board turned up broken but I was lucky enough to have dodged that bullet.

Just to chime in, as maybe someone with some experience 😀. Experienced as someone who did broke off the headstock of the guitar and have had gear getting damaged in the transport. Releasing strings during the transportation is manly good thing. But like everything else with the guitars there are exceptions depending on the situation and the case. Namely it is very big difference between the cases. Biggest difference in my experience is in way they hold the neck and on how many places they mobiles the neck. I have had better luck with case that have more contact with the neck. But then again depending on how much force the case is exposed too and what is it made of matters as well. Why is it good in most of the cases? Well when you release the strings tension you remove stiffness out of the neck and wood can swing more. But main thing is that if the shock comes form one side and it aligns with the string pull strings plus that force will break off the headstock. With slacked off strings you fight just that shock force and strings will not be the force multiplier. So you have better chances to make it out in one peace. I have placed cheap Dreadnought acoustic guitar leaning on the furniture with strings towards the peace of the furniture. Guitar slides gently on the side and slowly fallen to the ground, like slow motion in the movie. I remember thinking like ach it is OK no hight and so slow. Moment it touched the wooden floor headstock just popped off. One peace mahogany neck. Standard 12 gauge strings. Strings pulled the headstock off and nut flied true the room. Standard E tuning as well. Nothing as seeing that and you can't do anything about it. Anyhow slacking strings works in most of the cases.

Slacking the strings is to prevent over tightening at high elevations when the temp drops very low.
