My booth is a three case pop-up (I also have a large wood panel system which is much larger) so I wouldn't even fathom the idea of taking it with me on the plane. I have many shows in Sept-Oct. Most of my shows I use a ground carrier - Target Logistics who specializes in booth transport. With that said though, if I just had one small case (like you have), I would bring it with me. However, make sure you have it insured.
