Practical Tips

Good to Know

Remove all loose parts (cables, pedals, stands) and pack them separately — this reduces the risk of damage. A flight case or padded hard case is mandatory; standard gig bags do not provide sufficient protection. Check if a keyboard can be rented at your destination.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I bring a small MIDI keyboard in the cabin?

Yes, if it fits within carry-on dimensions (55x35x25 cm) including its case. Many 25- or 37-key controllers qualify as carry-on.

Do I need a flight case?

KLM requires sturdy packaging. A flight case or padded hard case is strongly recommended, as standard gig bags do not provide sufficient protection.
