Has anyone ever brought this on a plane as a carry one, or if not, do you think you could if you wanted?

Carry on size max is around 22 inches. This thing is 4 feet something long. I had trouble carrying on a tiny 4 octave Casio MT keyboard from the 80s.

Heck no you cannot carry it on an airplane. I wouldn't fit if you bought it it's own seat. You could probably check it if you paid. The box is at least 3ft tall

I have not flown with it yet, but it might be a little bit on the large side if you had it stuffed. Also some of the more tighter older plane's might not let you use it for a carry-on and make you check it in.

Did you use it with the base on the airplane? We had to remove the base to properly install it in our CRV. So was wondering if we need to carry the car seat base so it fits better in the airplane.

I think it'd be much too big to bring as a carry on. I'm not sure I'd trust baggage handlers. I mean, it is pretty durable, but I've seen the way they pitch stuff around. It's durable plastic but still plastic. It's withstood us beating the crap out of it for 5 months.

If you want to know if you can carry it with yourself in an airplane; The answer would be yes, you can. Is not that big xD

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.

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.

i did just that. used it as my carry on on a domestic flight to veil co...though as it is also my normal camping pack i checked and double checked that i hadn't left a knife or magnesium stick or anything "dangerous" inside.*edit* seeing the other comment i wanted to clarify, i flew out on American Airlines, and returned on Continental. so i know it fit in their o'head compartments

Not at all. I placed it in the carry-on and put it on when I got on the plane. No one said anything. I think they see things like this all the time.

I'm not sure how the airline rules would apply here.......perhaps if that was the only thing....no carry on luggage...that might be in a small duffel. The problem is....you have to plug it into an electrical socket for it to work.........and I don't think you can do that in your airplane seat!

Hi - I own this unit and it's pretty good. I would not take it on a plane - it's awkward even folded up - the handle sticks out - I think you'd find it a real pain to try and fit - no flex.

Hello, This should be handy enough to carry, however, I would recommend you check with the air carrier to confirm that they would allow it and it's within size limitations for carry-on items.

Absolutely, I do it all the time! If you're still unsure my advice is to double check the airline's carry on restrictions (since some are different dimensions), and as a rule of thumb try not to over stuff it.

Yes it has been allowed as a carry on. Last trip was to D.C. No problem, was slipped into a pocket in a backpack carry-on.

I have taken it as a carry-on several times... The problem comes if you are taking another carry-on besides the case, at least in American Airlines they only allow one carry-on and a personal item (briefcase, purse, backpack etc) and the case doesn't count as a personal item...
