I have traveled with ukuleles without any problem before, but heard somewhere that some people lower the tension on their strings before flying. Is this something I should be doing?
If you're bringing it onboard it won't matter and you shouldn't be checking your uke anyway <G>!
If you're on a long haul flight that you saved up for a year to take, and you're at the airport all ready to go, and they refuse to let you carry it on, because long haul flights are a lot more strict, then what choice do you have?
Ken was saying that it's been a recurring issue for him. They're pretty strict in Finland, but it doesn't seem like I'll be going on any long haul flights anytime soon anyway. It's just that you might be backed into a corner of not having a choice but to check your instrument. It's always the risk.
