Musical instruments
Bringing your instrument on board? Whether it's a guitar, violin, or a smaller instrument, we’ll do our best to accommodate it. Here’s what you need to know:

- Checked baggage: Larger instruments must be checked and packed in a sturdy case. Overweight and oversize fees may apply.
Tip: Consider purchasing a dedicated musical instrument insurance policy for extra protection during travel.
Fragile items
To ensure the safe handling of fragile belongings like glassware, antiques, or electronics:
- Proper packaging: Please pack fragile items securely in a durable, padded container.
Check-in: We recommend checking in fragile items as checked baggage. If you must carry them on, make sure they are properly wrapped and can fit within carry-on size limits.
