Airplane travel with heavy music gear
I have Pioneer DJ mixer that weighs 17 lbs.
along with an oddessey case that weighs 36 lbs.
And I want to dj for my cousin's wedding which is overseas but I'm not sure what would be a good way to bring the heavy music gear there.
One thought was to downgrade the mixer case to a mixer bag.
Any recommendation from experts musicians who carry heavy toolset overseas?

I've never done this before -- my one time taking an instrument during travel, it was a POS acoustic I cared nearly nothing about -- but when I see musicians talk about short-trip travel, they tend to bring an instrument and a pedalboard and rent a back-line. I'd look into renting a DJ rig rather than travelling with your own.
You could rent the equipment rather than taking it on the plane. Check out www.sparkplug.it. It's an instrument rental marketplace where you can rent gear from another musician.
