Hard Cases and Pressure Valves

I have a Cabelas Armor Xtreme case with a built in pressure valve. I don't think it's automatic but rather a manual. I'm getting ready to travel by air and am worried about the pressure in the case messing something up and am wondering if it's worth buying a pelican 1750. Are manual pressure valves good to go and will I not have to worry about pressure changes in and out of the case? Thanks!

Just leave it open.

The one on the cabelas case seems to be a kind of piston set up that is manual. So not sure what to make of it or if it's good to go for air travel.

The air pressure change isn't any more than driving up a mountain, cargo areas on the plane are pressurized too. Release the pressure if you have difficulty opening the case post flight, otherwise you won't even notice a difference.

Sounds good. I appreciate the input, thanks!
