 Re: Flight restrictions for musicians

The likelyhood on damage occouring to the instrument in the hold is very minimal - except if it moves itself in the box. The problem comes with baggage handling.

In the hold, it is pressurised and to some degree heated. Certainly for a short flight to france from the UK the less heat, than in a cabin, shouldn't cause a problem alone.

The chances of the restrictions being lifted by three weeks is also minimal. The restrictions in the uk are limited to all uk airports, no matter where your plane is heading for, including internal flights too. It applies also to flights coming in from the US. On the plus side, a lot of flight companies are waving the excess baggage charges, so nows the time to bring everything over ;-)

If its a worry, Eurostar over, or ferry even, to an area that has an airport then fly internally (if they don't have the restrictions too)

I would never let my instruments travel with out me - too many people dealing with my expensive instruments, and no real cover for them.
