Re: Flying with a bass clarinet

Michael Lowenstein's article is excellent. The BAM cases rarely get challenged, and fit in most overhead bins. I've had luck with simply showing it to the gate agent and asking to board earlier than my ticketed section (many won't go along with this, but some do) so that I can find an empty overhead bin. I've also upgraded to first class at the gate (which is way cheaper than buying it ahead of time) if I thought that they were likely to ask me to check it. This again allows early boarding. I have a full size bass, and it has fit on every airline that I have flown on in my Selmer light case, which is similar to the BAM. I've had friends fly with the Wiseman cases with no problems as well.
