Most valuable shells and small stuff on hand, stinky or heavy shells on
checked luggage. Packing on strong boxes will prevent any breakage. I do
like this either on collecting trips or carrying material for shell shows.
Now most airlines dropped the allowed weight to 22 kilos (used to be 32
kilos), which made our life more miserable....
