A Seat For The Cello

We’ve all seen those viral videos showing how airline staff sometimes mishandle checked-in luggage. That’s why it’s wise to avoid checking in valuables or fragile items like laptops. Instead, choose to take them with you as carry-on.

This guy truly treasures his cello, and he didn’t mind going the extra mile to protect it by buying it a seat on this flight. His seatmate, who took the photo, explained that the flight attendants kept reminding him that he couldn’t keep it there. Still, he would promptly produce the ticket showing that the cello was a paid-up passenger.
