traveling with the clarinet

Hello all,

I'll be flying from England to New York on Sunday - I'll be out in NY for a little over two weeks. I don't want the momentum of my practice to stop over that time. I've never travelled transatlantically with an instrument.

What should I do? Pack the whole case in a suitcase for the hold or bring it in hand luggage? It's just my student Yamaha, so it's not like I'm precious about it, but I wouldn't want to be stopped and have my luggage searched or deemed dangerous. (Once, through Heathrow Airport, I was stopped because I had a metal mini-clarinet ornament on my hand bag. I gathered they thought I could poke someone's eye out with it. I take airport security very seriously, but at this I had to stop from rolling my eyes.)

Thanks for any suggestions.
Elizabeth
