I'm planning to buy this for my nephew. How well will this fit in my check in luggage if i'm flying abroad with this??Can i dismantle it further ?

It comes disassembled & in a box larger than a suitcase, so I'd imagine you'd need to investigate shipping it ahead to your destination.

We flew one back home that the grandparents had bought...not sure why they did not just ship straight to us maybe they wanted the joy of complete surprise ... and checked it at extra expense that was worth the kids joy So if you are truly looking to surprise everyone put rope ie sting around the four sides as you would a bow for easier carrying and check it. With me, my husband, a 3 yr old and 1 yr old we managed so I am sure you can manage at curbside or even inside check in and when picking up your luggage hopefully you will have someone to greet you or use one of those carts for idk they were a 25 cents back then....a buck maybe.. good luck and God Bless your holiday season We flew one back home that the grandparents had bought...not sure why they did not just ship straight to us maybe they wanted the joy of complete surprise ... and checked it at extra expense that was worth the kids joy So if you are truly looking to surprise everyone put rope ie sting around the four sides as you would a bow for easier carrying and check it.

Dear Mathew, please tell me how you did it. My brother bought one similar to this one for my daughter but apparently it is way to big to take abroad. I wonder if you were able to dismantle it. Thanks!

It seems the shipping box is 70¨linear inches so broken down, you could easily check it in large suitcases (i.e. more than one) and stuff your clothes into it, next to it. From the website - Product Size: 14.75''L x 46.75''W x 32.50''H --- Weight: 21.00lbs. Box Size: 20.63''L x 27.50''W x 23.00''H --- Weight: 23.00lbs. Stage 2-kitchen closed : 13.75''L x 26.50''W x 41.75''H ---

I would love to help you Mathew, however I had the one I bought for my granddaughter sent directly to her so I really dont know how it looks disassembled.

This item will definitely not for in checked or carry-on luggage. If I remember correctly it came in 3 large pieces.

You can carry it on the plane and put it under the seat or above in the storage compartments. Or you can put it inside your carry on bag. I would not put it in a checked bag though incase your bag comes up missing or misses your flight (I've had that happen before and we got our bags a couple days later).

It is rather strange the way it is, in my opinion. If you plan to just use it around home, you can care for it well enough that it won't get damaged. But if you plan to travel with it, be prepared for it to get scratched and cracked. The airline staff don't care and it will get thrown around. Also scratched it a few times ourselves when we were in a big hurry to get it folded up and on a bus.

Not a chance that it would fit in airline carry on, and if you tried you would certainly get some looks. It actually ships in two boxes. One box is about 3.5 long and 1 ft sides. The other box is smaller but too big for carry on dimensions, the overhead door would not close. Much to cumbersome for an airline carry on. I would suggest shipping directly to where you are assembling it. It is fairly well padded in both boxes, which amounts to its size.

Do you mean put it in a carry on bag or carry it loose? Best to check with the airline. if It's shorter than the max bag length you could always bag it. I checked it when I flew.

It's lightweight and fairly small, but I think it's too long to fit in a suitcase. If I were taking it on a plane, I would either check it by itself or carry it on.

I think if you leave all the pieces separate you should be able to. I'd put the gizmo in the checked bags and the other in 2 separate baggies in your carry on. Good luck. Call the airline and make sure.

Probably not carry-on size, but might fit in a standard size if you took apart and ran it diagonal inside the suitecase. It is quite easy to disassemble.

I assume you are talking about the top bag which comes off like a brief case or back pack. Yes I think it should fit as carry on and hold up to bring checked. I suppose the whole thing might fit in the overhead but would be an awkward shape to carry.

Do you mean if you travel with it? I would guess that you could not carry it on the plane, but maybe it could go in your checked bag. Maybe you should ask a travel agent.

I've checked it in luggage a few times without issue. Not carry-on though. I put it in a ziplock back in case pressure were to cause any leaking, but I do that with all liquids in checked luggage.

It does come unassembled. Whether it will fit in baggage depends on the size limits of the airline. Best to check box size and the airline baggage size numbers. You may have to pay an "oversize" fee.

i can't give U a simple Y or N 'cause: (1) i did not try to take it aboard the plane in my carry-on & (2) re the suitcase I checked, the "thing" was empty as I did not fill it until i arrived in south america where i filled it prior to boarding the cruise ship (which does not allow "spirits" 2 B brought on-board. it went through the ship's version of TSP just fine because they did not do a full body scan nor a pat down and it was in my jacket pocket & I was not required to send my jacket through the scanner. nevertheless, i thick the quality of the "thing" looks fine & i had no problem with any leakage, so I plan to use it again and again. suggestions: put the "thing" in your carry-on & not on your carry aboard luggage as i don't think it would make it through an airport TSP check, which only allows a max of 4 oz; consider filling it only 1/2 full to minimize any loss due to discovery; wait to fill it until U R at your destination & not boarding a plane but rather a cruise ship or attending a concert or whatever, and don't put it in your backpack which is more likely to be searched than your jacket or crotch or whatever. hope this helps a tad. abe

The box is quite large. However, once the castle is put together it closes together and all the pieces can be stored inside. It is much smaller and more compact once it is put together. That being said, you will more than likely have to check it. I believe it would be too large to be a carry on item. Hopefully that information is helpful.

I took it on a couple airplanes but my flight was international. When going from USA to Europe it fit in the overhead compartment no problem... On the domestic flight I can't honestly remember if it fit above me or under me... but if it doesn't then they usually take it and put it underneath (not with checked luggage just with other carry on bags that are too big to fit in the overhead compartment). I've done a lot of flying with a carry on more bulky then this and never had a problem.. So to answer your question I would think you will be ok with flying with it. Personally I wouldn't trust my computer in any other bag. I took it on a couple airplanes but my flight was international.

Absolutely. Have taken on many flights and it just barely fits within airline regulations, albeit only in the softcase that comes with it. If they give you a hard time, just insist that they measure it or just insist period. It is a musical instrument that shouldn't be stored in the belly of the plane (though it is sturdy enough I think it would survive just fine as long as it doesn't get crushed by shifting luggage) and it fits easily in the overhead compartments anyway. Like I said, I never had any problem and I've taken it even on international flights. No biggie.

The center unsnaps and it folds easy. You can also remove the arches completely and fold smaller. I believe it will fit in the suitcase.
