Instrument on a Plane?

[launched]

I could smash it up - rock n roll style  

Would love to see that!

If you don't already have one, get yourself a good quality hard-shell case like this:

Put it inside a large, sturdy suitcase and pack your clothes around it for extra padding.

Here are more cases:

Of course, security will probably be alarmed when they x-ray your luggage and see what appears to be a machine gun case inside.  Then they'll open it up and make a mess of your careful packing.

Noooooo!

Thanks everyone (except Bruno) - I'm ordering a Kala soprano uke and a hard case for it (which should be REALLY cute) and it's going in my suitcase. If they loose the suitcase, I'll just have to stand there and sing the bloody songs. I've been told they are all ex pats so I won't have to speak any French, phew! Although I do have I French joke . . .

Too bad your not in the States you could get this and maybe the x-ray will pick it up as fruit

I have no solution for the uke but huge congrats on the new gig in France. That's great.

Thanks, if I make it there and don't die on my arse.

Hi Hilary, 

Can you borrow one from a muso in Cannes?  Someone at the venue may know a muso or two?
