Within the US and between the US and UK I always take them in my regular
pipe case though it sounds like some European budget airlines have
stiffer rules.
Like Sheila I always announce that they are bagpipes as I put them
forward to the x-ray. The only time this caused a stir was getting on a
UK flight at Dulles in Washington DC. There was a young, urban African
American fellow seeing the items onto the convey and when I said they
were bagpipes he responded sternly with "What did you say?". I repeated
"They are bagpipes" and he broke into a smile and said "I thought you
said 'they are crackpipes'".........

I know that this was recently discussed on this forum but I cannot find
anything suitable for carry-on luggage. Any recommendations for a
travel bag for NSPs when taking them on airlines? Not checking them in
as Ryanair charge a premium if they know it is a musical instrument but
want something strong but light.
I know a sax gig bag was mentioned and I was looking form something
similar. Any other ideas?
