Thanks Kev..I've mailed Sax.co.uk to get the dimensions of the case so I'll go from there...Its a mid afternoon flight on a Thursday so I don't imagine it would be too crowded and from what I can see the case would be fine width and depthwise its just that it may be 7-10cm taller that allowable..Big welcome from me. On flying... Check with them direct. And try for something in writing. If it's a small plane, less chance of it working.
