GUEST,chris Size of Overhead Bins (flying with instruments) (23) RE: Size of Overhead Bins (flying with instruments) 10 Mar 10


Hi
I went to a lot of trouble a few years ago in buying a case suitable for carrying 2 concertinas. I specifically bought a case that conformed to the recommended size and even checked the case at the airport in a frame designed by airports to check size of carry on luggage. It conformed - but no one had told the aircraft manufacturer who had made the overhead bins smaller than the so called recommended size. It is further complicated if you have to change aircraft for an internal flight to your final destination - they are smaller than intercontinental planes. Fortunately the cabin crew were understanding and stowed my case in the crews luggage space allocation. BEWARE there is no such thing as standardisation
good luck
