Michael, I'm going to take my Nord Wave as hand baggage with my laptop in the same bag, specs: * 870 x 274 x 98mm, 34.3 x 10.8 x 3.9 inches * 6 Kg, 13.3 lbs. I think this should work if I interpret the "special baggage" rules of KLM for instruments. Regarding customs, I don't know what to expect. I think I'll take photo copies of the original bills just in case and I simply hope they don't pick out stuff of my suite case. I leave my Looperlative at home for that reason, as well as the Gordius. Especially the last looks really dangerous ;-) See http://www.klm.com/travel/nl_en/travel_information/baggage/exceptional_baggage/index.htm#9 . Summary: 2. As hand baggage You can carry a musical instrument instead of a piece of hand baggage if it fits in the overhead baggage compartment or under your seat. 3. On an extra seat Larger instruments which do not fit in the overhead baggage compartment or under the seat can be taken into the cabin to be transported on a seat booked in advance. This is only possible if your instrument is not longer than 140 cm (55 inches) and does not weigh more than 46 kg (100 lbs). You can only book an extra seat by telephone or via your travel agent. -- Sjaak Overgaauw http://premonitionfactory.com/ http://livelooping.be/ http://euroloopfest.com/
