Whether musical instruments can be taken on the plane depends on the hand luggage regulations of airlines.

For example, Air China: the weight of hand luggage in economy class must be less than 5kg, and the length, width and height should not exceed 55cm, 40cm and 20cm.

The length, width and height of the luggage compartment are limited. On the plane, personal belongings must be placed in the overhead luggage compartment or under the front seat (for safety reasons). If a certain size of the article exceeds the regulations, it will not be put into the luggage compartment.

Generally speaking, only small musical instruments such as flutes can be brought on the plane. Musical instruments such as guitars must be checked. However, due to the general consignment is likely to damage the musical instrument, it is necessary to pay attention to the fragile label and carefully package it (adding cushioning materials such as foam can prevent damage).
