I once travelled from the US with a guitar a few years back. I was told at check-in that instruments travelled free and had to be taken onboard. Was even ushered to the front of the boarding queue when I got there so I would be able to stow. Assumed I'd discovered an airline hack and had been considering a guitar case as a sneaky second suitcase in future.
