Boom connections on wings -> On or off when traveling via airline?

Has anyone had any issues with keeping booms on wings while in a checked travel bag? Thinking I should remove the boom to alleviate pressure on the connection boxes although I haven’t had an issue yet. Do you all travel with the booms connected or do you pop them off? Thanks!

I always leave them on, unless they are very easily detachable (clickboom) - in which case I only remove them because it makes it more compact to pack. Have never had an issue with them damaging the wing and I travel with gear a lot. The board is what gets banged up in transit - the wings are always totally fine.

Ok great to hear, thank you!

I have hard handles that fit multiple wing sizes. I usually remove and only take 1 set of handles.

Copt that thank you.
