Re: Flying with a bass clarinet

I have not had to check it in larger aircraft. The problem is the smaller regional planes who just do not have overhead spaces long enough. So plan your trip accordingly.
Since one is never sure what will happen, I added a web belt around the outside that I can tie shut, but is still untie-able if people need to check inside.
When boarding, I announce to the TSA what they are seeing, and try to board early to get first shot at overhead spaces (SWA was good). I hope your Eb bass is separable and not one long body, as there is a better chance to find space if it is not too long.
