Holy Cow! How will I pack a 230mm dome port?

I've used 2 different methods

1. Tupperware container in checked luggage. I found one that fit my Aquatica 9.25" dome perfectly.

2. Kata CC-195 bag as carryon. Its a video gear bag but the shape is unique - the bags cross section (height x width) stated as 24x27cm. Perfect for a 23cm dome to sit upright. I can fit my full rig including dome in this bag. The size is questionable as a carry on but i've never had a problem.

**Wow looks like Manfrotto bought Kata. Seems its now the Manfrotto CC-195

Cheers,

I have a big SKB (similar to pelican) case. Housing, strobes, ports, focus/zoom gears, arms, clamps, focus lights, battery chargers, and all that type of stuff goes in. It came with foam to pluck in order to make a custom solution, in a few layers, so I plucked away until I got everything expensive a spot. With the remaining area for the rest, I plucked it all out leaving a fairly large empty area (which seems to fill quickly). Full it weighed 68lbs for our trip to the Maldives last fall, but everything made it there and back without any problem (United & Singapore Air). I didn't have to pay any fees on it due to flying with business award tickets, but that wont be how it goes every time -- I wish!!!

I can take some photos of how I pack it if anyone is interested, since it's a few weeks from flying.
