How To Fly With Your Violin

This video is about how to fly safely with your violin. Here are some tips and tricks that work for me time and time again when traveling with the violin by airplane: use a sturdy hard case (like Musafia or Bam), tricks to avoid checking in luggage, how to pack light for short trips, how to get better chance at finding space in the overhead bins without paying extra for pre-boarding, and how to pick a good airline and travel day for you and your violin.
