Interestingly, when I checked Jet Blue, they seem to prohibit anything approaching the dimensions of a guitar, but I never had a problem and when you speak to them they actually encouraged me to bring the guitar on the plane. On the otherhand, when I spoke to contenental airlines, (when going overseas) told me no guitars, but their policy seems to allow at least an electric in a gigbag. Go figure. http://www.indie-music.com/cont/airports.htm Wuzhizzoner Posted 2005-05-23 10:47 AM (#149915 - in reply to #149914) Subject: Re: Guitar Airline Carry on baggage Joined: June 2002 Posts: 1614 Location: Converse, Texas I've flown in and out of San Antonio since 9-11 and haven't had a problem carrying a guitar on. If you get seating in Group 1, you don't have a problem with overhead bins. I have found that American and Northwest are the best as far as allowing me to put it in the overhead.
