Hi Pei! Its such a tricky question to answer! If you have extra cash - buying a ticket is always your safest bet. I have not yet travelled with my svc210 on an international flight as its a brand new cello but planning to do so in June and I must also figure out what is the best option.
@@Dorette_Roos Thanks for the reply! You're right. But the flights back to my home town are exaggeratedly expensive now, and the price of the ticket would probably buy another svc210 and a half hahaha! I can't afford this extra ticket I'm afraid. I pray that the ticket price will come down to "buy half a svc210" hahaha.
@@peiwang4524 I hear you! What I would do for INTERNATIONAL flights are to transfer my electric cello to my flight case (I have an amazing Stevenson carbon fiber case) and then wrap extra padding (foam) around the case and put in the hold. For LOCAL flights the airline usually allow me to carry my electric cello to the door of the aircraft and give it back to me as I leave the aircraft - like a baby stroller. I always check and confirm this beforehand. However on international flight they don't necessarily allow this and it very much differs from Airline to Airline. And of course you can't risk them saying no and it going as is to the hold. I would make contact with the airline and get a gauged on their rules for this. And if they do allow this as part of their rules - get it in writing :) Goodluck! This is always the most stressful part of cello playing journeys!
@@Dorette_Roos Thank you for your patience!!! Very useful information! I think I will also prepare a carbon fiber case, this sounds like the surest way to go. Thank you again, beautiful lady, and good luck with your show!🥰
