Flying from Toronto to Whitehorse (layover in Vancouver). Air Canada claimed that it will accommodate string instruments.
This is what it says on their website:
* Exception: String instruments (e.g. guitars, violins and violas) can be carried on board as long as they fit in the overhead bin and there is space available in the cabin at time of boarding. In some cases, a seat may also be purchased for these instruments. Contact Air Canada Reservations for more information.
However, they have also taken a public stance against violas. Violins can be carry-on, but violas need to be checked http://www.macleans.ca/society/how-does-a-viola-cross-the-ocean/. I DO NOT want to check my uke. It's the Martin S1 and therefore mahogany. Does Air Canada have a specific policy on ukes?
