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.”

Did it a few years ago. Had to check it. No issue otherwise.

Hello Fishes,

I have got my L2 Dependent Visa stamped for the US through the Wife's organization and she has booked the tickets for the both of us in the next weekend. I am currently unallocated in TCS and seeking projects in the same US location as my Wife. Can I travel to the US just like that and then continue my search within TCS from there or do I need any approvals to even fly in the first place?

I am worried because of the time crunch and will be glad to hear some points on this.

Should I be mindful about how much I’m spending or should I blow up the budget until someone says something?
