Flying with pedals
- Thread starter JimmyM
- Start date
I know you're dying to hear how this turned out...eh, probably not 
I repacked. I changed out the small carry-on suitcase for a big one, and I put all my pedals in their boxes and stuck them and my trusty scrap plywood pedalboard in there and checked it and my bass. Everything arrived safely, and I had minimum inconvenience, except for when the retractable handle jammed on me at the Spokane airport. Seems to be OK now, though. But using the boxes takes up a lot of room, so it won't be an option when you have to make everything fit in a carry-on.
BTW, I did a search on "flying with pedals" to find this thread again, and I found no less than 4 similar threads I started over the years and forgot about. So I promise this will be the last thread on the topic...this year.
