Hello folks,
I'm thinking of bringing my keyboard (digital piano) with me overseas, however couldn't figure out whether I'll be able to check it in when flying Qantas. The item is 140x20x40cm (=200cm) and is beyond the stated 158cm limit. In terms of weight it's fine (10kg) and I've got plenty of allowance being WP. Anyone knows if they'll carry it (with or without extra charge)?
It seems that Jetstar (according to their website) will happily take it (as bulky item shorter than 2 metres), while Qantas (no mention of bulky item in their website except for sports equipment) won't?
Other airlines e.g. Emirates happily take up to 300cm total dimension and Singapore airlines take any item shorter than 200cm. I also have carried skis with Qantas (180cm long) without problem, so I know it's not a technical limitation.
Thanks!
