So far on my trips (inside and outside the US.) The tanks and the wieghts have been provided. I bring all my own equipment apart from that.
Make sure the valves they provide are the same as you use, unless you pack an adapter too.
I also like to take a few 1 and 2 lbs soft weights or clip weights (solid weight with a gate clip tie wrapped on) along. Most of the provided weights are 3s and 5s only. That usually makes you a bit heavy or lop sided with no trim weights optional.
I have a rubbermade pie container that I keep my regs/hoses in. No kinks or crushing. Doubles as a rinsing/soaking container and many other uses too, once you on site. I’ve even used it as a humidor by tossing in some cigars and a shot glass full of distilled water on one trip...lol
My mask has its own box.
My computer is the only thing I’ve been worried about in transport so far, granted i haven’t flown with my gear yet
I might just bust out for a hard case with wheels for my gear at that point and insure the crap out of it... I hate the airline luggage rules and charges they have at this point. Yet they loose and damage even more luggage now that they charge more for it!
