Hello -
On a recent band trip to New York, one of our trombonists
managed to carry her trombone (in the standard (large) brown Bach
trombone case) onto the airplane! That case is about 36 inches by 12
inches by 10 inches (very rough estimates)! None of the check in
personel, flight attendants, etc. made any comment about it, though it
probabally helped that that was all that she was carrying on. It fit in
the overhead bin fine, and there was space to stash plenty of flutes,
clarinets, etc. around it. I can't remember what type of plane we
flew, but the airline was Jet Blue.
