(regardless of status)
Most of the luggage that will fit some of my larger equipment is over this (68 linear inches).
For example, this Eddie Bauer bag.
I know I used to fly with a big rolling luggage that was 68 linear inches and never got any hassle.
Does anyone have any experience with this? I would hate to get to the airport and not be able to fly with my equipment (musical that I would need for the gig).
