Anybody carried on a musical instrument lately with no problems? I just saw on FaceBook that an AA pilot refused to allow a famous violinist with a 250+ year old violin to carry the instrument on board a flight. The pilot told her that the violin was too big for carry on. She has been flying for years with no problem until now. Have policies changed? I've seen people put full size acoustic guitars in hard cases into the overhead bin. I carry on a small bodied travel guitar with a removable neck and it fits easily under the seat and I have had no problems for the six trips I have made since I ordered it, hand made, from Switzerland. It wasn't cheap, but it is not worth a forturne, like the violin. I really don't want to go to VG for three weeks without a guitar, I'm a musician, I need the playing time. Any info or recent experience appreciated. Oh, we are flying Delta this time from Richmond, VA to Atlanta to St. Thomas.
