Guitars and other sma­ller musi­cal ins­tru­ments, such as vio­lins, will be accep­ted as your free carry-​on bag­ga­ge item on Delta and Delta Connection® carriers flights¹. These items must easily fit in the overhead bin or other appro­ved sto­ra­ge loca­tion in the cabin, based on avai­la­ble spa­ce at the time of boar­ding. Musical ins­tru­ments may be gate clai­med at the dis­cre­tion of the pas­sen­ger and as a result of limi­ted overhead space.

You may pur­cha­se a full fare tic­ket for an item that you feel is too fra­gi­le to be hand­led as chec­ked bag­ga­ge. You may stow the bag­ga­ge in any pas­sen­ger seat with a bulkhead or divi­der in front of the com­part­ment. The follo­wing res­tric­tions apply. The item must:

• not exceed 165 lbs (75 kg)
• be pac­ka­ged or cove­red in a way to avoid injury to other passengers
• be pro­perly secu­red by a seat­belt to avoid shif­ting during flight
• not res­trict access to, or use of, any requi­red emer­gency or regu­lar exits or ais­le of the cabin
• not obs­cu­re any pas­sen­ge­r’s view of seat­belt, no smo­king or exit signs
• not con­tain dan­ge­rous goods
• be secu­red in a seat in the same cabin as the owner and pre­fe­rably next to the owner

Musical ins­tru­ments or equip­ment can be chec­ked if the total linear dimen­sion (length + width + height) does not exceed 150 inches (381 cm), and pro­vi­ded the weight, inclu­ding the case, does not exceed 165lbs (75 kg).

Please note: Musical ins­tru­ments excee­ding 78.74 inches (200 cm) in length will not be accep­ted as chec­ked bag­ga­ge on 767 – 300 air­craft to/​from Tokyo-​Narita, Japan (NRT).
