Case recommendation for 400mm 2.8 II lens

Hi

I'm going to be traveling overseas and concerned about the 7Kg weight limit for carry-on and would prefer to take the body and other lenses on me than only the 400. Does anyone have any recommendations for the 400 if I do need to check it in since the one that comes with it is pretty flimsy which surprises me for such an expensive lens !

I'm thinking about the pelican im2450 or 1460 but there's a lot of extra space there. For such a heavy lens what sort of padding etc would be tough enough to stand up to the weight and keep it in place? I have a mindshift Moose Peterson MP-3 for walking around with it so not concerned about that, is only for while on the plane that I'm concerned about.
