A musi­cal ins­tru­ment in its hard-​shell case that weighs no more than 7kgs and doesn’t exceed the maxi­mum dimen­sions for musi­cal ins­tru­ments, can be taken as carry-​on bag­ga­ge and must be pla­ced in the overhead locker.

The maxi­mum total dimen­sions* for a musi­cal ins­tru­ment is 142cm = 85cm +34cm +23cm. If its total linear dimen­sions are 105cm or less, then it will be equi­va­lent to a 105cm bag, using the carry-​on bag­ga­ge calculation.

If its total linear dimen­sions are bet­ween 105cm and 142cm then it will be con­si­de­red as equi­va­lent to a 115cm bag using the carry-​on bag­ga­ge cal­cu­la­tion.

Please mea­su­re your musi­cal ins­tru­ment befo­re arri­ving at the airport.

A small musi­cal ins­tru­ment, for exam­ple, most vio­lins, usually fit within the musi­cal ins­tru­ment allowance.

Larger musi­cal ins­tru­ments, for exam­ple, most gui­tars, don’t fit within the musi­cal ins­tru­ment allo­wan­ce and must be chec­ked in. Alternatively, you can pur­cha­se an extra seat and carry it as a bulky item.

if your musi­cal ins­tru­ment does not meet the abo­ve requi­re­ments, you can pur­cha­se a fare for bulky items to carry it on a sepa­ra­te seat, sub­ject to avai­la­bi­lity and size restrictions.

if your musi­cal ins­tru­ment does not meet any of the abo­ve requi­re­ments, you can check it in, sub­ject to the requi­re­ments for chec­ked baggage
