The maximum length of a carry-on luggage is 45″ to 55″ for most airlines.

A classical guitar with a solid case can easily reach the 45″ maximum limit.

It might not be able to fit in the overhead luggage bins.

Especially if you were boarding late, it could be a problem moving somebody’s luggage around.

So the guitar as a luggage is in the grey area.

It could be OK and it could be a problem.

If you ask a clerk if you can carry-on your guitar, you will be out of luck.

The answer will be always a big “No!”

So, what should you do?

In a nutshell:

• Don’t ask questions like, “Can I carry on my guitar?”
• Try to be the first few people inline boarding the airplane.
• Carry your guitar on your back just like a regular backpack.

Even if your guitar doesn’t fit in the overhead luggage bin, a airline stewardess will find a place to put your guitar.

The worst case scenario, they will treat it as a piece of check in luggage.

我今天就随身带吉他乘坐了两次大韩航空的飞机：广州 -> 汉城，汉城 -> 洛杉矶。我另外还有四次随身带吉他上其他航空公司飞机的经历。

Tips：

办理行李托运的时候不要傻呼呼地去问“我的吉他是否需要托运？”问了等于找死，答案多半是“不行！”

把吉他与随身行李放在一起，或者用背带背在身上。

尽早登机，尽量排在前面，以抢占“有利地形”。

备注：

即使是飞机小实在装不下大吉他的话也不怕，登机时空姐可以帮你在登机口办理托运。

还有个笨办法：帮吉他买一张飞机票就可以在座位上享受安全带了。。。
