Advice for travelling musicians

Always securely pack musical instruments in a robust and lockable musical instrument case or other suitable protective container.
Arrive at the airport in plenty of time so that the musical instrument can be searched and checked that it is packed securely.
Wherever possible, keep the musical instrument with you as hand luggage to minimise impact damage and possible deterioration due to fluctuating temperature in the aircraft hold.
Load musical instruments into overhead lockers carefully or place them under the seat if there is space and don't forget to take them with you when you get off the plane.
Always check your musical instrument carefully when collecting it from the airport baggage carousel and if you suspect damage has occurred report it to airport personnel immediately and complete a baggage irregularity report. (Make sure you obtain a reference number).
Keep a close eye on your musical instrument at all times while in the airport terminal. Allianz Musical Insurance has received several claims for instruments stolen from baggage trolleys.
