Taking a sewing machine on a plane - UPDATE
A big "Thank You" to everyone that gave me advice on taking a sewing machine on a plane. Since then, my other sister is buying a sewing machine from a friend of mine that lives in my town, and is the same machine as mine. (a Bernina 440 w/BSR for $1,500.00! What a steal, but that's another thread) Anyway, I also saw an advertisement for UPS, they will pack, ship, and guarantee the shipment. Probably for the same price as taking a carry on, as the airline I am flying on charges for carry on luggage. I will ship it to the sister that I am house sitting for, and my sister that is buying the machine, only lives 3 hrs away, and is coming over for the weekend and will get the machine then. (Did I mention I am house sitting in Vegas?) I was able to arrive at this plan, thanks to all of the advice on this board. I am going to slip in fabric for a project with the machine.
