Here is some handy information from our travel agent, World Group Travel, about luggage:
You are allowed one piece of checked luggage per person – plus one musical instrument (flutes, oboes, violins, clarinets, violas).
The linear dimensions (length + width + height) of the checked-in luggage may not exceed 62 inches and weight cannot exceed 50 pounds.
Include your name, address and phone number inside your luggage in case the outside tag becomes detached.
You may also take one piece of carry on hand luggage per person, plus one additional personal item such as a purse. Remember that the carry on piece should not exceed 45 linear inches (length + width + height) and 13 pounds.
WEIGHT is the most important item to watch.
It is now acceptable to pack walking canes, nail clippers, disposable razors, tweezers, umbrellas and eyelash curlers. Needles or syringes for medicinal purposes are permitted, but must have the manufacturers and/or pharmaceutical label attached. If you are in doubt, place the item in your checked baggage. Hand luggage may be subject to additional screening after passing through the security checkpoint.
We are on the "piece" concept as well. Meaning as a group, we are permitted two checked items per person. Which amounts to one suitcase and instrument each.
Instruments to be checked in:
Alto Saxophone
Tenor Saxophone
Bass Clarinet
Trumpet
French Horn
Trombone
Electric Bass
Cello
