Flying for the Holidays? Travel Safely with Your Instruments



Be sure to follow the Asian Youth Orchestra on Facebook and Instagram for details on 2019’s audition and tour dates. We’ve released the Audition Schedule here.

Travelling with musical instruments can be a painful experience- especially when you are travelling with an instrument much bigger than a mouth organ or a flute. Flying with small musical instruments like flute, violins, and violas can be less stressful but travelling with very bulky musical instruments, like a cello, harp or double bass, can take a toll on you. They can also be an ice breaker-- earning you a few new friends who are excited to see a musician and his or her instrument!

Travelling with musical instruments regardless of sizes can be less stressful and much more fun if you know and follow a few tips. Keep reading and don’t let the complicated logistics stop you from flight!


When travelling with your musical instruments, the most important “to do” is to secure the protection and overall safety of your instrument. After all, a musician’s worst fear is having their musical instrument to get damaged or to get lost in transit! Secondly, you must plan out how to best get your musical instrument to your destination. Can you take it along as hand baggage? Will you need to buy it it’s own seat? Will you be required to check it, and store it with the other luggage on the plane- and if so, how to do it safely and securely?  

You will find that rules will vary from airline to airline, but the following is generally true. You are usually allowed to bring small musical instruments onto the plane as part of your hand baggage. You will need to securely store it in a hard case and place it in the overhead locker. Dimensions of the instrument, including the case, typically must not exceed 7kg (15lbs), and must be 93 x 39 x 24cm or 36 x 15 x 9in (height x width x depth) or smaller. Like any other piece of luggage, you are allowed to store it on a first come first served basis with the possibility of being asked by flight attendants to check it at the gate.

Larger musical instruments usually must be checked into the hold, unless you purchase a separate seat for them. A cello, for example, can frequently be stored in a hard case on your purchased seat which will be fastened upright by the airline’s ground staff. Dimensions of the instrument, including the case, must not exceed 32kg (70lbs), and must be 136 x 48 x 44cm or 54 x 19 x 17in (height, in vertical position x width x depth) or smaller.
This is a more expensive option, but well worth it if you have a valuable instrument that you don’t want to risk checking. To help this go as smoothly as possible we recommend notifying the airline you are flying with 24 hours in advance of your departure. Also be sure to arrive at the airport at least 30 minutes earlier than normal, this can help just in case you run into any problems.

No matter how your instrument is travelling, whether as hand baggage, checked, or riding high in its own seat, here are some tips for packing your instrument for travel:
  • Purchase a hard case for your instrument, and use it. When travelling be sure to pack all loose space with socks, clothes, or other soft objects.
  • Loosen your instrument’s strings before travel, especially air travel, to prevent any strain or damage.
  • For wooden instruments, put a humidifier in your case to avoid cracking.

Embracing Change: The Powerful Benefits


 
Are you courageous enough to move out of your comfort zone? It is a human tendency to want to cling to familiar patterns, even if they are outdated and no longer serve us. Change is good though! The NewLaw industry is based on innovation and change. It was one of the main instigators of change in terms of how legal services were being delivered by traditional law firms under which partnership model the billable hours culture dominates. Lesley Hobbs and Tim Fawcett established their NewLaw firm, Cognatio Law, to meet the legal market changes in Hong Kong, where the demand for flexible and cost effective legal services continues to grow and  change sometimes seemingly on a daily basis.

Humans in general are often resistant to change, not realising that change itself is constantly happening around us and to us. Even if you resist it, change happens sooner or later. Resistance is futile! In many cases change brings greater knowledge and new experiences into our lives, leading to increased flexibility, self-confidence and open-mindedness.

Below we explore a few of the powerful benefits change can bring into our lives.



Personal Growth
Change helps you discover new insight about yourself and those around you, sometimes even offering you viewpoints from a different perspective. This leads to self growth, and a greater awareness about the world around you.

Flexibility
Learning to roll with life’s changes helps you become better able to adapt to new situations, as well as new environments, experiences, new people, etc. Think of the willow tree, which bends and sways easily in high winds but does not break. You are a survivor!

Opportunities
When you move out of your comfort zone, you’ll find new choices and different opportunities waiting for you. Evaluate your new path carefully, as not all changes are positive. You should exercise good judgment in selecting your steps as you move forward. Change brings new beginnings and often adds excitement to life!

Betterment
We all have areas in our lives that we would like to improve, whether it is your personal life, finances, career, housing, etc. Changes that we make to our lives, along with hard work, is the only sure way for improvement to happen. Change is vital to improving our lives.
Change is one of the most difficult things for people to face. Yet, change is inevitable. Learn to embrace it, adapting to life’s quirks and roll with the punches. There are vital skills you should master to succeed both on a professional and personal level.

About us:
Headquartered in Hong Kong, Cognatio Law is headed up by an experienced management team with a solid understanding of both local and regional business needs as well as the related legal & regulatory requirements. We offer tailor-made solutions to assist in-house legal and compliance teams in reducing their project costs, headcount, and fixed expenses.
