Hey guys need some advice on traveling with a guitar.
Recently purchased a gibson les paul studio silverburst online and it has been delivered to a relative's address in the US. I'll be going over soon for a holiday and will be bringing the guitar home on the way back. I've been doing some research on traveling with guitars but I still have some doubts.
Firstly, what are the chances of it being allowed to be stowed away on the plane? (Its in the standard gibson hard case)
Secondly, if it can't be stowed away, what precautions do i have to take to ensure the safety of my guitar, on top of bubble wrapping it and loosening the strings. Is the standard gibson hard case strong enough in such a situation?
EDIT: Im taking economy class on SIA so i doubt theres any space around me to place it
