Yeah, airlines have only gotten worse through the years about this issue. I'm glad somebody at least tried to address it, but of course Congress is really good at telling people to do something without providing the funding.
I've flown with my soprano clarinet in its case inside a suitcase, and that seems secure enough- perhaps better than carryon. But that wasn't in subzero weather either.
There are proper and very secure travel cases for just about any instrument. All you need is $, to buy the case, and perhaps to pay to bring it along on your trip. Alternatively, you could ship it separately- but that's no guarantee either- and at best you have to do without it an extra day or 2 or 3. Last year I had a clarinet shipped to me from the Ridenour folks- by the time the package got to FL it had turned into a stack of embroidery squares (no joke!).
I bet a lot of musicians "go by car" like Dave Carroll sings.
