Just flew to the family cottage and back with my Cordoba Solista Flamenca guitar. Obviously a MUCH more fragile instrument than the CF guitar in question, but I use an SKB iSeries case. I put it under the plane (Air Canada) both times and it was totally fine. Nice not to be at the random whim of the gate/flight staff every time I board the plane.
While it is likely overkill for X20, and not sure which iSeries would even fit your guitar, for others considering travelling with a guitar I can't recommend this case enough, especially for the money. It is bulkier, but has wheels so it is easy to roll through the terminal. Also, case is about 20-25lbs, so even with a heavy instrument you are below the 50lb checked bag limit.
Anyway, not a specific answer to the OP but related to the topic (and possibly useful info to others).
Later
Rob
