Musical Instruments

You can also bring musical instruments on Virgin Australia.

Here are the specifics:

• Instruments that are no bigger than carry-on dimensions can be brought onboard as part of the passenger’s standard carry-on allowance.

• If an instrument will not fit in the cabin, it is checked in a hard case.

• Passengers are encouraged to loosen strings on stringed instruments to minimize damage from changes in pressure and temperature.

Larger instruments such as double basses or pianos may need special handling to fit in the cabin, but larger instruments that can’t fit into the cabin can sometimes be checked as part of a passenger’s baggage allowance or incur additional fees according to size and weight.
