Hi, I am looking for a soft case for travelling with my Kronos 61. Do airlines let one travel in the plane with a keyboard of this size? Thanks in advance.
P.S. A Sales Engineer from Sweetwater recommended me this one:

Not sure that you could carry a 61 aboard, better check with the airlines. I’d think something like this would be safer, but again I’d check with the airlines. No way I’d let them pitch it (literally) in with the baggage.

You have to call each airline in advance to see if they allow your board.exsequor699 wrote:Hi, I am looking for a soft case for travelling with my Kronos 61. Do airlines let one travel in the plane with a keyboard of this size? Thanks in advance.

Don't assume or take a sales reps advice. An airline can change their policy as they see fit

I would NEVER trust asoft case in the hands of baggage handlers. Unless you are flying Westjet. I've flown them and they have safe storage in their planes for musical instruments and other fragile stuff but as far as I know, they are the only ones who do that.
If music is the food of love, play on and play loud!
