I am taking a trip in a few months, and I made sure to book only 757's, as I've heard their storage compartments are some of the largest (for domestic flights). I have a gig bag and a $200 Yamaha FG700s - I'm new to guitar - so it doesn't seem like a big deal for my instrument to break, but I really don't want it to. Also, I don't want to buy a $200 hardshell case to transport the guitar, because well, it's just not worth it. You've quelled my qualms, and I'm now confident to pack my clothes in my gig bag and carry the sucker on. (Already got the rear seats in the plane.) It's only a weekend trip, but why should I be without my axe, right? Thanks for rocking! PS - This post is extremely well written. Thank you so much for this post.
