Well I've taken both my electrics and acoustics on planes before. Here's what you can do: Carry the guitar through security as if you're just going to carry it on to the plane. Now if you dont have any other carry on, then you can just bring it on the plane. If that's not that case, then just have them check it at the gate. They'll put a special ticket on it. Then you get it back right when you get off the plane; it'll be waiting for you on the jetway with like peoples strollers and whatnot. I've done it on a bout 4 different occasions and nothing has ever gone wrong.
