It is probably worth doing what others have suggested and getting a print=
out of the regulations - I'm trying to talk to a low cost airline re a=
trip later this summer (from the UK) where I need a bass and Eb (in a=
Wiseman triple case) and am currently being told there is no way I will be=
allowed them as carry on. I flew with a group last weekend within Europe,=
the reduced size of carry-on luggage meant that all of the trumpets and=
the alto saxophone were too big to carry-on. The bass clarinet had to go=
as hold luggage on the outward flight but was allowed on when returning to=
the UK.
