Re: Airline Checker - Airline policies re.musical instruments.
Hi OCT - - I understand what you mean - but !. The very words ''i assume'' shouldn't be needed these days. The whole point in this matter is to get rid of any uncertainties at all. What we need as a 100%,perfectly clear,understandable by everybody, ruling where no assumptions are needed. The words '' musical instrument'' don't appear in the BA notes. So - IMO,the wording should read :-
" 1 handbag/laptop bag (max. 23kg / 51lb and up to 40 x 30 x 15cm / 16 x 12 x 6in)
plus 1 additional cabin bag (max. 23kg / 51lb and up to 56 x 45 x 25cm / 22 x 18 x 10in) OR one musical instrument '' (size / type to be specified).
Only that way could we be (almost) 100% certain of re.being allowed to take an instrument on board.
If you'd worked in the aircraft industry,you'd soon come to realise the absolute need for clarity & unambiguity. Get things wrong & it can go very bad indeed !!.
