Special Oversized Carry-On Items e.g. Instruments
Hi guys!
As we know, the maximum dimensions of carry-on baggage is 56cm x 36cm x 23cm (22 x 14in x 9in) including wheels, handles and side pockets, regardless of cabin class or status.
However CX also allows for the provision of special cabin baggage:
e.g. for musical instruments,
"You can bring small musical instruments such as like flutes or violins onto the aircraft as part of your cabin baggage allowance...
For all travelling classes, dimensions of carry-on musical instruments must not exceed 93 x 39 x 24cm or 36 x 15 x 9in (height x width x depth) including the case."

Has anyone tried bringing an oversize instrument / item with CX as carry-on before?
Any problems? & how to ensure that gate staff are willing to let the item through?
