Any tips for flying with a guitar in a hard case? I have United 1K for reference, but I’ve never done this before. I’ll check United’s site for what I have to do to check this in but any wisdom/advice on traveling with a guitar is appreciated

According to family folklore, my uncle flew home one holiday with a very, very expensive guitar and was told he had to check it. He refused, so the gate agent said his only other option was to buy it a seat. He did - unfortunately, the only seat that was left was First Class, so that was what he purchased….for the guitar. When asked why he didn’t put the guitar in Coach and take the First Class seat for himself, he explained, “because the First Class seat belonged to the guitar. I wasn’t going to take its seat.”

I might get roasted for asking such a basic question but - how much do you budget for eating out ($ amount or % of budget)?

Pre pandemic I was traveling 5 days a week and just used left over per diem on the one night I went out with friends at home. During covid I stayed home. Now that I’m fully vaccinated and are many of my friends they want to go out to eat/drink. During covid I moved from a LCOL to here so I’m experiencing delayed sticker shock at the prices. Any tips?

For anyone else looking to do the same, I’m happy to answer anything about the process - check in, flights, mask usage, security, visa checks, airports, social distancing, etc.
