Fellow musicians rejoice! Here are the new FAA guidelines for musical instruments: - Airlines are required to allow small musical instruments, such as a violin or guitar, to be carried into the cabin and stowed in approved stowage spaces, if available, and/or under the seat. • Once safely stowed, airlines cannot require passengers to remove their instruments, even if space taken by their instrument could accommodate one or more other carry-on items. • Airlines cannot charge an additional fee for instruments as carry-on or checked baggage other than any standard fee imposed by the carrier. • Airlines are now required to train air crews, gate agents, counter agents and baggage personnel concerning appropriate procedures necessary to comply with all FAA musical instrument transportation policies. Yahoo!!! Congress did something right for a change. Happy New Year!
