Should I bring my violin or not? Dreaded Delta

January 10, 2009 22:02

I really need to practice this week, and I don't like to be without my violin for a week.  But reading from the horror stories with flying Delta, I am thinking twice about it. 

I fly with my violin all the time (i travel alot, but always with United, and they are SUPER nice to musicians).   I book this flight kinda late, and United does not have any direct flights anymore, I completely forgot about this Delta nightmare until now.

Many violinist here complaint that Delta would not let them bring their violin on board with them, although my violin is not expensive, I don't want to check it.

If you were me, what would you do?
