Dear Ms. Goldman,
Thank you for your e-mail to Delta Air Lines.
Effective April 1, 2007, Delta will allow passengers traveling with a
violin or smaller musical instrument to carry-on the item as part of
their free carry-on allowance. Musical instruments must be placed in the
overhead compartment or approved stowage location in the cabin. If
adequate space is not available, the item needs to be checked.
