Arn't you allowed two carry ons? Simply put one set in the overhead and store the other set uder the seat in front of you. I definately would not put them in the cargo hole. And asking someone else to carry them for you could be tricky. I once read--on this BB--of a bassoonist who was actually asked, by an airport security official, to assemble his instrument and play a few notes. I can just imagine the "designated clarinetist" standing there and saying to him/herself.........."now which hand goes on top???"

But then, again, I wonder how clarinets are commercially transported from France (or "where ever") for eventual sale in the USA. Perhaps we clarinetists baby our instruments to excess. I remember (way back) when I was in college, I used to carry my clarinet--in only its case and warm after a two hour practice session at Music Hall--and "trudge" UWs Bascom Hill on my fifteen minute walk to the dorms in below zero degree temps. And to this day, 45 yrs later, that clarinet (Buffet R13) has never cracked. The baggage compartment of a plane--maybe, no big deal. But then again, those baggage handlers...............
