DON'T!!!!!!!!
The Yamaha hard case offers not much more protection than a top line gig bag. I have the exact same horn (11 years old), and I have creased the bell twice and gotten one or two actual DENTS while in the case. The outside of my case is so flexible, a good bump will damage the horn. Unless they have improved the cases a lot since then, it would be looking for trouble.
I have never flown with mine, but if I did I would buy / rent a flight case.
