[Dixielandjazz] Flying with Instruments in US

[hsalotti at aol.com]

Elazar, Hi.  This summer our band flew USAir round trip from Philadelphia to Rome and our banjo player (Franny Smith) brought his instrument on board in the over heard.  Go online to the airlines web site and check the size of the carry on luggage.  The banjo may count as your one carry on piece.  Good luck.  Have a great trip.
Harry Salotti.

Shalom Jazz Fans,

I am coming to the US (CA and FL) in November, and I see that US domestic
flights all have baggage charges and strict rules now about what one can
take on a flight. Anyone know whether I can take my tenor banjo on Spirit
Airlines or another carrier from LAX to FLL without extra charges. It is in
a soft padded gig bag and fits overhead.

Thanks for any info you can give me.
