I think he said there's one plane that it won't fit in (I think it's a widebody). I've seen guys carrying classical guitars in gig-bags on 737-100s. If it absolutely won't fit, if you're nice, you have a good crew, and the flight isn't overbooked, an attendant will often stow it in the coat closet for you. When Bill came down here, one of the Alaskan attendants actually removed a floor panel in the isle and put it down there. I wouldn't even attempt this on a Southwest flight with their cattle-car seating. C-ya! Rich --- GoldED 2.40 * Origin: Hiroshima '45 Chernobyl '86 Windows '97 (1:218/704)
