Most don't charge but lately with the fuel crisis they have been. I would contact your airline to be sure! |

We flew Air Jamaica and the dress was hung in first class with no problem. There were a few wrinkles at the bottom of the dress, but they didn't show much. I tried to steam it in the bathroom, but it only helped a little. I will say that it was a bit of a chore walking through the airport with the garment bag, but I definitely wasn't going to check it going over! | |

We actually flew US Airways also and they hung it up in the closet no problem, the lady threatened to take it and where it, but besides that...no worries. I took on the dress and I had a bag and they didn't say anything about too many carry-ons. You will be fine. What I will suggest that whoever (between you and your FH) boards first, let them carry the dress on and hang it up so that it can get on the plane sooner just in case someone in front of you is doing the same thing. The closet is small but it's better than folding it.
I honestly don't think you would need to steam it because it is so hot and humid that it would steam itself. Or you can put it in the shower... | |

My flight company wouldnt let me bring my dress in a bag so they can hang it up in the plain. there are restict orders, or I needed to stuff it into a large suitcase, ( where is enough space for the dress ) but Im terrefide that I will loose my dress, so second and last option is I had to put it in my handcarriage.
I almost had a haertatack when I heard that, but I bought the largest size handcarriage permitted in the plain, and I went with this case to the store where I bought my Huge dress, They fold it in a special ways, and it fits perfect!!! I was so surprised,. Long time ago, it was very normal that bridal gowns were deliverd in boxes, so there are special ways to fauld your dress. Also you can keep in mind when buying a dress, choose fabric that can handle a little wrinkling. Mine does, because I specialy choose a spanisch tule dress, very light, and no problems with wrinkling. Good luck, everythig will be just fine. You'll see,
And only a few more days to go and you will have you wedding, Im sooo jaleous!, I hope You have a wonderfull time!!
