Re: Ship it or check it...

I did forget about the gate check, and they do put that in a certain compartment, which I'd feel a little safer about. But keep it as your carry on. My violin case was too big according to JetBlue, but when I got to the gate to check, they said that I could carry it on. It fit in the overhead compartment. The allotment was 26" and my case was about 32" I think (A bow is about 30"). I had no issue at all, and I even forgot to take my bridge off for the flight (though I did loosen my strings).

But if they say anything about the size at the gate, the gate check might be a decent choice.
