Does a tenor saxophone fit in the cabin on LOT?

It depends on the case. Compact form-fit cases for tenor saxophones are often right at the carry-on limit. Measure your case precisely and contact the LOT Contact Center if in doubt.

What about a baritone saxophone?

A baritone saxophone exceeds carry-on dimensions and must be transported as checked special baggage. Register it in advance with the LOT Contact Center.
