I may need to make a relocation overseas. Any experience on the best way to ship/transport a Phantom? At the moment thinking to place in original packaging, then surround with foam in a larger box...

That would be safest although mine were shipped to the USA from France in the original packing boxes and arrived safely

Original packaging should be fine. Mine shipped from a French department store to Australia just fine.

Original Box, then a thin layer of foam and an outer box. Since I was carrying the phantoms myself, I checked them in packed as described, they survived the rigours of the baggage handlers at the airport at both ends. After all was set up and running for a week and a half at home, 1 phantom stopped working(software update glitch). So that particular phantom had to make a trip to France. Shipped it UPS with the phantoms packed as described, which incidentally is exactly the way the Customer service guys told me to do it. After repairs, the phantom made the trip back via UPS again packed in a similar manner.
Not a scratch on them.

My pack job was basically:
Phantoms in original box | Plastic wrap | Cardboard box with heavy taping | Luggage wrap
... And here's how it went:

Hand luggage with Cocoon, you do need to be 2 to transport 2 Phantoms. It's obviously a bit overweight as you're at 11-12kg but given the size I'm not sure people would complain. Do expect questions when going through scanners :-)
Ps : A friend of mine has done it several times with no issues.
