Hello -
I am looking for some advice. I will be traveling on an airline (Jet Blue) and would like to take one of my Euphoniums. For the trip I would use my Wessex Dolce. The case is basically cloth covered Styrofoam (the standard Wessex case). Is that case considered a "hard sided" case by the airlines? It appears they will cover damage if it is in a hard sided case. Also, can a Euphonium be gate checked? I would like to limit the amount of handling if possible. Thanks for any information /guidance you can offer.
