Step by Step

How to book your Guitar on Iberia

  1. Check guitar case dimensions: max. 56x45x25 cm for carry-on.
  2. If it fits, bring as carry-on and board early.
  3. If not, book an extra seat through Iberia Customer Service or check as baggage.

Practical Tips

Good to Know

Iberia's limits (56x45x25 cm) are more generous than many European airlines. Compact and travel guitars have good chances. Short-haul flights with smaller aircraft may have tighter overhead bins.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does a standard acoustic guitar fit in Iberia carry-on?
Standard acoustic guitars in cases typically exceed even Iberia's generous limits. Compact electric and travel guitars have better chances.
What happens if my guitar doesn't fit in the overhead bin at the gate?
Ground staff may require it to be checked. Book an extra seat in advance to be safe.
