Has anyone here ever used like a big box on the airplane and paid the excess $150.00 to put an extra item on? I have two guitars and a keyboard that need to come back with me and I was thinking maybe if I got them in one box and taped it up they would accept it? Any ideas? I'm flying with continental.
Contact the airline in advance see if they can do you a deal rather then pay on the day.
