Guitars and smaller musical instruments…
Guitars and smaller musical instruments like violins or flutes will be accepted as your free carry-on bag item on most Airlines. I traveled to Cran Canary last January and brought 4 kilo electric guitar in a gig bag which I had paid for as extra hand luggage. Been doing that by Air for over 30 year as a Musician for free. At the check in counter no remark or comment was done by your staf. At the cate however your staf would not let my on board un less I would pay extra 130 Euro and ask me to let the crew on board to put the fragile instrument down to belly on the plain were the temperature can drop to -50 degrees on celsius. I was forged to pay 130 Euro or miss my flight. I just put my instrument to the overhead as usual. I found this all rude and very unconformable. I did not travel back with my instrument because of that from Cran Canary but left it there in good hands for reuse next time I travel there to play my music.
