Richard,your guitar and case will probably weigh in at around 36kgs. I would suggest you put the pedal bar,legs and rods in with your clothing,or,in a small grip and take on board as hand luggage. The Airlines will give you a hard time,and charge you plenty dollars when you exceed 20kgs in any one item
Long haul flights are different,they allow you 32kgs,and even then sometime turn a blind eye when you are over the top,but European Airlines,especially Low-Cost Airlines,want every cent they can squeeze out of you. I hope all goes well for you in Denmark. How about a Jazz version of "Green Glens Of Antrim", Im sure the Danes would love that eh!.......Regards Ted

It would probably be 25 kilos on the low side, and 35 on the high side (depending on the particular guitar and case).

Airlines won't allow carry-on legs, rods, and pedal bars anymore.

Since they believe nail clippers can be used as weapons, there's no way to convince them a steel leg is harmless.

1 kilogram = 2.2 pounds, ask any drug dealer.
