I just finished a day of travel headaches with Delta airlines. They had me on a
tiny twin engine connection jet, and they tried their hardest to get me to
check my Marcus Bonna MB5, but I told them that the case would fit, that it had
been designed to fit on airplanes, and that I had done it all before with no
problem. Skeptically, they let me board. The seats on the plane were set up so
that there was a line of single window seats, then an isle, then a line of
double seats, one on the isle, one by the window. My seat was one of the single
window seats, and to my horror, my case, the case that I bought specifically to
fit on these darn things, did not fit under those single seats! The only thing
that saved my horn from the claws of the trained monkeys was the fact that it
BARELY fit under the double seats, so when nobody was looking I snatched one of
the roomier seats. The point of this lengthy anecdote is I was wondering if
there is a better flight case
than the MB5? I've heard that the MB3 clamshell style fits, even though it's
not technically a flight case. I have to fly back in a couple of weeks, and I
just hope that there is another open seat that I can sneak into. Oh, and they
lost my luggage too. Not that I'm bitter or anything...
Thanks for the help,
Nick Hartman
