I took my travel guitar on my latest flight. Not as small as a Traveler-brand one, but I was able to put it behind 2 other roller-bag carry-ons that were rotated length-wise instead of depth-wise along with my partner’s CPAP. Still meant 4 bags in the overhead slot like normal. I just put my CPAP bag under the seat in front of me and didn’t bring a backpack, instead. Same net result.
But that’s with a travel guitar, specifically the Enya Nova GO SP1 which is much smaller than my mini-jumbo Washburn (EA15). I don’t know how on earth I’d fly with that short of making arrangements to put it in a special location besides the luggage compartment. I’d be too worried about it being damaged even in a hard case, especially from the atmospheric changes.
