I'm bringing my dad a putter as a gift.

I plan on traveling with AA and LAN from JFK (with a connection at MIA) to SCL with this box as checked luggage.

• Would there be any complications?
• Are there any tips for this sort of baggage? (Travel insurance, etc.)
• What about customs? This golf club is about $120 usd.

Thanks guys
You're automatically covered so don't worry about it. Just pack it carefully (maybe a couple of pieces of PVC pipe as braces inside the box) and check it as regular luggage.
