Hmmm.... I'm glad I came across this thread as I didn't even think it would be an issue!! Now I'll have to check - thanks for the advice !

Also a close family friend had a dw, 5 years ago, and had no problem carrying her dress. And the flight attendants were great and hung it in a closet for her!

 

Im flying delta and american and I was thinking that would be my carry on and then carry a big bag that can fit under the seat with my flowers. Then my Fiance can carry a small suitcase and another backpack for whatever else I do not want to check!

I actually called Air Jamaica with this same question today. They were very nice and told me that depending on what type of plane it was, they will accomodate it as best they can.

American did not give me a response via e-mail. They said I need to call, which I haven't gotten around to yet

I would be sooo sick to my stomach and probably snap if they said I couldn't bring the dress because it didn't their requirements. I ordered a garment bag that could be folded 3 times if it didn't me their standard. I'll be bringing my steamer with me too.

 

This is the one I ordered from garmentbags.com... it handles on it to help carry it. And on sale for 61% off

Oh what a great idea - I think before I leave I will put my dress through a trial run to see how bad travel might be for it...

I wish you luck, I have a hard time believing a flight attendant wouldn't be more sympathetic than just callling the airline. Good luck...

I flew American and they let me carry my wedding dress on. The flight attendants noticed that I was carrying a garmet bag and asked if it was a wedding dress. When I said yes, they took it from me and hung it in the closet.

I feel a little relieved now! I was just about to ask if anyone had recently flown with AA because my flight is in a week and I was wondering how they are in regards to carrying a wedding dress. Thanks for the info.
