Bringing Gear on a Plane Trip

[shredmonster]

So anyone ever have trouble with gear on a plane trip?

I have never had trouble carrying a guitar. But I am going to bring a Boss Metalzone padal with me next trip.

Thinking about putting it in my suitcase.

nah.. I flew overseas twice this month. Had a metalzone and a bunch of cables in my suitcase, but brought my guitar with me on the plane.

I travel around a lot and always take my Mod 6 with me, as for gear, Pandora's box, assorted wires. Never had a problem, except for one time they took the guitar and stored it up front. Normally with a gig bag I can put it overhead. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Just make sure to take the battery off of the pedal.

Problem was... it was in a hardcase and they wouldn't allow that in the cabin of a transatlantic flight.

gate check the case and have them put the guitar in the wardrobe closet. use your charm and sweet talk the boarding pass lady (who will most probably be a stewardess on the flight). tell her how irreplaceable the guitar is, how you once had a priceless guitar stolen (they all know about the baggage handlers), etc.

Yeah, there is definately no freaking way I would check a guitar, no matter what it cost me. Most baggage handlers are only one step above cavemen as it seems.

I took a chance and let them load my #1 Warrior in the baggage hold.....I did have the check in clerk plaster it with Fragile stickers too (and made sure the case was locked). This was only once, and I didn't have a problem coming or going. I probably wouldn't do it again, or buy a heavy duty Anvil case for a particular guitar if I were going to travel with an axe again.
