That is hilarious!! I can just picture seeing this on the plane. I'd totally crack up.

I spoke with a flight attendant when we flew down to the Bahamas on September and she suggested we pay extra and get the extra leg room seats as they are the first to board. I'm also going to be flying out on a Tuesday morning so hopefully the flight won't be too full.
If push comes to shove, I'm prepared to buy the dress its own seat!

We're flying out next month, direct flight from BOS to Punta Cana.. and theres 26 of us, so I may have to use my "bridezilla" magic and put it in a overhead bin. (Totally kidding with the "bridezilla comment

My best friend actually was just on a Jetblue flight to her wedding destination and not only were they extremely nice and accommodating - they gave her an entire free seat for just her dress. I'm sure the other people on the flight weren't too happy that the dress got a window seat - but she has always been a jetblue fan and I think will likely only fly them forever in the future. Just call them ahead of time to let them know how much you'd appreciate their help - and they'll be happy to help!!

I have heard that most all airlines are use to having to deal with wedding dresses and it's not really a big deal.

I'm going down to the bahamas next thursday and ask them in detail what they think.

I'm prepared to buy my dress a seat if that's what it takes!

...Buying a seat for a dress sounds crazy but I think it's a good idea at this point! My fiance might hate me but I'm not willing to risk a dress disaster!!

I flew to JFK (on Jetblue) this past Sunday with my gown and I'm returning home to JAX today with it (on Jetblue). Don't count on being able to lay it out in the over head bin. Our flight to JFK was full so the flight attendants weren't able to do anything to help. We paid for "even more space" seats so that we could board early but still my dress and his suit were pretty packed into the bin. They couldn't really make any special accomodations. So, get a really good garment bag and have it steamed or steam it yourself (I did) on the other end. Also, board early if possible because our flight was so full that people were forced to check bags and it would cause a lot of stress to have to check your dress at the last minute.
