Korean Air rules

  • Instruments with total dimensions (length + width + height) of 115 cm or less, such as violins, may be brought on board free of charge, in the bin or under the seat.
  • Over 115 cm, such as a cello, you must book a seat for it through the Service Center.
  • Korean Air recommends the cabin or a purchased seat over checking, because of the risk of damage.
  • A checked instrument must be in a hard travel case, and you sign a limitation of liability form at check-in.
  • Over 203 cm in total and 32 kg, it must have a seat or go as freight.

Before you leave for the airport
  • Measure the case and weigh it packed. Staff measure the case, never the instrument.
  • Check the fare. The cheapest fares often include only an under-seat bag.
  • Check who operates each leg. The operating airline's rule applies.
  • A seat for the instrument is booked by phone, often 48 hours or more ahead.
  • Photograph the instrument and case before you leave home.
  • Board as early as you can.
