Question Guitar Travel question for everyone

Joe Bonamassa just tweeted that he's lost ANOTHER guitar to Airlines staff. Last time it was the BFR, this time it was one of his signature Gibsons.

I'd be very wary.

If I'm flying your plane I'll throw it in the cockpit with me!!! I'll second what everyone here is saying. If the plane is a regional jet space is hard pressed and they will most likely want to gate check it in the baggage compartment. If it's a larger plane then they should be able to accommodate your guitar in the cabin.

With the bag fees the overhead bins are jam packed with everyone trying to save a buck!
