learn how to fly

“If you’re travelling by plane, do not put your guitar into a gig bag and try to blag it into the cabin,” says jazz guitar supremo Martin Taylor. “It may work a few times, but on the occasion when the cabin crew refuses to allow the guitar into the cabin your guitar will be taken off you, checked into the hold in its soft gig bag, and probably won’t survive the baggage handling ordeal. So buy a really good flight case and check the guitar into the hold or buy an extra seat for your guitar and travel with the guitar in a soft gig-bag.”
