On my recent gig trip to NC I had my kn6000 in an ATA case from NY Case Co: http://cgi.ebay.com/ATA-CASE-for-TECHNIC...bayphotohosting

Total weight - kb and case = 60lbs.

I flew Continental Express and at Newark Airport they only charged me for overweight - $50 ... When leaving Greensboro Airport they wanted to charge me $50 for overweight and $100 for oversize!!! ... I questioned one employee after another about why it was different from Newark, until a Supervisor let me go with just the overweight charge (for the kb, not ME !!! ) ...
When she saw me in the airport later, she said she checked and they did not charge oversize for musical instruments, so I shouldn't have been charged anyway ... I thought this sounded strange, but as long as I didn't have to pay, I didn't care what the reason was ...

chony - maybe you should check with airlines about that ...

PS ... As it was an unexpected expense, I split the extra shipping cost with the client...
