Carrying on a Wedding Dress

Does anyone know if it's possible to carry on a wedding dress?  And if there's somewhere to hang it?  I called customer service but they didn't seem to be very helpful.

Ther is no place to hang it.  You would have to put in in the overhead bin and try to laying it flat...

 

Good Luck!

I'd recommend carryon (certainly don't check it in the case of it getting lost). They require you to put it in the overhead bin. This can of course be tricky on full flights. I was lucky enough that when I carried mine on in the garment bag, the pilot happened to be standing nearby and offered to hang it up front in their pilots closet. I was so grateful for the good customer service! The stewardess essentially told me I was out of luck and I needed to put it overhead but I'm glad the pilot overheard and stepped in!
