This airline won’t board violas

This airline won’t board violas

Message from Florian Peelman, professor at the Hanns Eisler Academy in Berlin:

I was denied boarding today on a Brussels Airlines flight from Brussels to Bilbao due to my viola case exceeding the baggage allowance measurements. Their website says violins are allowed, and I have flown many times with them before without problems.
I am on my way to teach a masterclass in Vitoria-Gastiez.

It was never like this on Sabena.
