We'll be flying out of Dallas early Sunday morning ( at least I hope so! crossing fingers for no big delays! I hate holiday travel)

Anyway, does anyone know about bringing on an Guitar in a soft case for carry on?

I've seen people bringing them in the past ( I think the flight attendents put them aside during the flight). But, I'm not sure with all of the restrictions on everything what the rule is.

I looked on the travel rules website but it is sort of vague.

Also, would passports be faster for Domestic travel for the kids? I know they don't need to have ID but I was just wondering if that might expedite check in.

Does anyone know?
