Some musician was forced to check his Strad (value €5m) because they said there was no space so he took the bus back to WAW. rather than check it in. He hadn't booked a musical instrument as he claims its within the cabin bag dimensions (LO dispute this).
It would be interesting to know which aircraft operated it, whether it had a locker, because if so, I am sure the Purser would have been happy to store it. In fact, should they have been informed I feel like they would have helped him. It's a 40 min flight, under the seat would be fine?

I do have some sympathy, VNO check-in staff are nasty and seemed to take pleasure in their power craze. In the past few years it's the only station that wanted to measure and weigh my cabin bag...and I was in C. The last time I was asked to put my bag in the sizer was Ryanair some many years ago.

2000 PLN in Y: F return is 1800zl, Z is 2300zl (in my experience would even clear when WL), D is 3000zl, C is 4000zl.
He could do with a good TA .

Some of the replies by Lobotomised LO lovers are hilarious, thinking its not her responsibility because they don't directly work for Basia . Yeah...he should sue the handling agent.
He ended up taking an 8 hour long bus to Warsaw. Question - why was he travelling with a 5m worth Strad abroad without proper security? and no extra seat for the instrument? It's a standard practice to book a seat for highly valuable instrument.
