Before you leave for the airport
  • Measure the case and weigh it packed. Staff measure the case, never the instrument.
  • Check the fare. The cheapest fares often include only an under-seat bag.
  • Check who operates each leg. The operating airline's rule applies.
  • A seat for the instrument is booked by phone, often 48 hours or more ahead.
  • Photograph the instrument and case before you leave home.
  • Board as early as you can.
