I am flying to Florida on Allegiant and I really want to bring my concert fluke. It is just over 22 inches, under 23 inches but the carry on can only be 22" X 14" X 9". Does anyone have any experience on how strict they are. I will go without it if I have to check it. I am willing to carry it in my hand without the case and wrap it in a towel. I will be carrying on my computer case (which will be my personal item) and the ukulele. I don't want to get to the airport and my ride is gone and I have to check it. Thanks.
