Re: Flying with equipment

Mitch-

I have flown with my clarinet(s) since 9/11 and I've been able to carry it on without a problem. But you're right, the screwdrivers, reed knives, and file will be a no go. I would check a bag and put them in there or not take them at all- otherwise they'll take them from you at security.

Recently they've started inspecting all contents of checked bags as well, and when this 1st happened a few months ago I had a bag arrive late. I think they've gotten more efficient since then.

I've never heard of clarinets being confused as weapons, but I've heard of that happening with bassoons! I know someone who was asked to put it together at security and play it.

Good luck,
Lori
