When I travel with my 'cello, it gets its own seat (and I pay a full price ticket for it - even though it doesn't eat dinner!). It always gets the window seat as well. On one flight years ago, I was forced to have it put in the baggage hold, and watching it almost fall off the careening "baggage train" as it sped across the tarmac made me vow to never get on another plane without *two* tickets. I wonder if the guitar had its own ticket? I've never traveled in a plane with paddles, but would one piece paddles present extra problems - even in the baggage hold - because of their length? Or would it just be an extra charge?
