Do people bring guitars as carry-ons and take a whole overhead bin like that?
I don't have a musical instrument, but if I did you bet your ass I'd be keeping it in my sight rather than let the cargo handlers beat the absolute shit out of it.
If overhead bins are for anything, they should be for important things like that.
The reason overhead space is so crowded in the first place is because airlines have created a perverse pricing structure which charges extortionately for checked luggage and encourages everyone to take the biggest carry-ons they can.
You’re kinda a dick if you do. A guitar will take up an entire bin that is for a row of three people.
If you ask nicely, you might get a flight attendant who can put it in the closet at the front of the aircraft usually reserved for business class.
Otherwise get a hard case and check it with your fingers crossed.
Would you trust your instrument to be stored under the plane? I don't have a problem with people bringing fragile items into the cabin. That doesn't mean it's his main character moment to pull it out and dazzle a (literally) captive audience.
I have seen instruments on board but I dont think you can just "take a whole overhead bin" without having permission to take something larger then a normal carry-on with you. I bet they charge you more than double what a normal carry-on would set you back.
Instruments can be carried-on. I don’t think there’s an up-charge.
Do people abuse it? Certainly.
My country is too small for domestic flights, might explain the difference in our experience. Here your carry-ons are paying a serious part of their costs, no way they'd let someone take up double or triple the space without asking for money.
