In my experience, fragile stickers are looked on as
a challenge by airline staff ! I am flying to LA in a few weeks and have decided
the best way would be to buy a hard suitcase big enough to fit my gurdy in its
semi rigid case. packing clothes around it should do the job.

Cecilia,
When my friend Paul flew to Sweden last month he took his small
guitar gurdy on as hand luggage in a soft case.....(packed it well in case it
was taken off him and put in the hold) They just x-rayed it and let him on
fine. Another friend just flew over from NZ with a harp in a soft
case....brave woman! Had lots of fragile stickers on....dont know if that
helps!

Hi,
I fly from the UK to Hungary tomorrow, and I think it was a wise
decision
after all to buy a proper flight case. I had read the HG flying
guide
(available from http://www.hurdygurdy.com/info/flying.htm) and it
took me
months to decide the best option. My insurance company sticks to
the hard
case, otherwise I would've bought that wonderfully padded
softcase one guy
sells in the UK. Now, with all these onboard
restrictions since the
terrorist threat I reckon one has no choice but
let it go as luggage. I
don't think they will enter with much argument
with us. Does anybody else
have very recent experience in this? I am
still around today, so please
answer, if yes...
