"The International Federation of Musicians has today published a 3-tiered rating system – based on how accommodating airlines’ cabin policies are for musicians traveling with instruments. The study found that at present only 11 airlines globally have set policies that state that they accept all musical instruments on board that fit within the overhead compartments or under a seat."
The rating system assigns each airline the color green (for airlines that "accept all musical instruments on board that fit within the overhead compartments or under a seat"), amber (for airlines that "do not currently comply with all US FAA regulations but that their size limitations for instruments are more favorable than those enforced on regular cabin luggage"), or red (for airlines that, "at the time of the study have policies that saw the same size limitations applied to musicians’ instruments as to regular cabin luggage").
Hawaiian Airlines was one of eleven airlines receiving a "green" rating"
