I will be flying US airways from the US to Europe with my tenor sax in tow in the coming week. Looking at their website, it looks as though my tenor case is too large to carry on. Even my form fitting Gator case is too big I think.
They say that the maximum size is up to 45 in/115 cm (14 x 9 x 22 in or 36 x 23 x 56 cm)
How strict are they with these size restrictions? I am not sure I want to check my tenor.
I'm flying to Europe in early June for a tour and am wondering the same thing... scared out of my mind actually about it. The general consensus seems to be that I will be able to take it on with me, and if they resist then I should put up a huge stink about the value of the horn etc. Fingers crossed! Let us know how your situation turns out.
