The website says “You can carry on one guitar or similar or smaller sized musical instrument, which will count as your one carry-on item. The musical instrument, which may exceed 45 linear inches, must be able to be stowed under the seat in front of you or in an overhead bin or another approved stowage location”.
My guitar is a 38″ acoustic guitar. Has anyone done this or seen it happening?
