Small musi­cal ins­tru­ments may count as your one carry-​on bag and may exceed the Standard carry-​on dimen­sions, as long as they can be safely accom­mo­da­ted in a pro­per sto­wa­ge com­part­ment in the cabin of the aircraft.

If you’d pre­fer to have your lar­ge ins­tru­ment tra­vel with you in the cabin, you can pur­cha­se a seat for it. Please review our Cabin seat bag­ga­ge infor­ma­tion for details.

Checking your instrument

We’re happy to accept musi­cal ins­tru­ments as chec­ked bag­ga­ge, pro­vi­ded each pie­ce is pac­ked in a case desig­ned spe­ci­fi­cally for the equip­ment. If your tra­vel inclu­des mul­ti­ple air­li­nes, other res­tric­tions may apply.

Each ins­tru­ment is sub­ject to the follo­wing checked-​baggage ser­vi­ce fees and overweight/​oversize fees:
