HI, I've attended the LSA 3 times, and had never problems with my instruments.
I traveled from Buenos Aires to Cleveland with 1 stop, where I switched from a big plane to a smaller one. SO, first time I've carried an 8-course renaissance. It fitted in the overhead bin of the big plane (777 at least, as far I can remember), but for the small plane I had to check it at the gate. second, but a 6-course renaissance, the same. 2010, I could take the instrument with me inside the cabin in both planes, but this time I carried a small vihuela in A (being slightly bigger than a violin case) No breakages, no problems at all. I cannot tell about bigger instruments. regards, Laura 2010/7/16 Edward Mast <[1][email protected]> Thinking ahead to 2011, I hope to attend the Lute Society Seminar, traveling by plane. At least one person has said that he never has had a problem with being allowed to carry his instrument onto the plane with him, checking it in at the gate (this is assuming a smallish Renaissance lute & case). Have others here found that they have been able to do this? Or not been allowed to do this?
