I'm pretty sure I'll be able to make it for the weekend--will confirm shortly.

Can anyone advise on the cost of transporting instruments on flights? Both Aer Lingus and Ryanair upped the price of luggage last week (Dublin airport). On a radio programme discussing this several people phoned in saying they were charged extra for instruments, though they had not been notified of extra charges beforehand. The charges were more than the price of the flight.

I'll try to find out from the airlines but may just travel without instruments.

Looking forward to this...
