"In his blog, L.A.-based musician Lynn Harrell has written of 11 years
of buying full-fare, SkyMiles-earning Delta tickets for himself and his
cello's seat beside him, collecting half a million miles for both.
One
day, Delta contacted him "in a rude letter that was really a
hand-slap," he says, informing Harrell that his own frequent-flier miles
were being confiscated and that both he and "Cello Harrell" would be
barred from collecting miles."Read more of Lynn and other musicians' challenges in the post-TSA and post-airline meltdown era here. So sad, it's funny.

Those who play large instruments are really stuck. I remember when the tuba belonging to one of my dad's bandmates was dropped from a height of 15 feet thanks to a baggage handler. It wasn't pretty!
Ouch!! That is tragic. :(
