But it wouldn't cost that* much; of what you describe, only one, the guitar is an instrument, so the rest could haply sit in the hold, I guess the guitar could too if you had a decen enough case and sufficient faith in the ability of the airline not to send your guitar to a differnt destination... Of course, a guitar costing maybe two or three thousand pounds at the most doesn't quite compaire to a violinist carrying an instrument with a million pounds of insurance on it...
