Instruments in Carry-On Luggage: Lufthansa Shows Grace for the Violin

Lufthansa has updated its carry-on regulations for musical instruments following a successful appeal by violinist Carolin Widmann and others.

In a significant win for musicians, Lufthansa has announced new carry-on rules for instruments, inspired by an unusual incident involving violinist Carolin Widmann. The saga began when Raimund Trenkler, a renowned music director, found that he and his fellow musicians were denied boarding with their cello cases as carry-on luggage on a flight from Seoul to Frankfurt. This led to an impromptu negotiation with the female pilot, who agreed to allow them on board if they would put on an onboard concert.
