Musician denied boarding at Cork Airport over instrument seating
Based on · First reported · Updated
Sources
- Pablo Zapico was denied boarding at Cork Airport on July 5 because his two instruments could not fit on one seat, after having flown with the same airline on July 2 without issue.
- He had to buy an extra seat for his theorbo and carry his guitar as cabin baggage, refused to place either instrument in the hold, and was denied boarding, which also led to his checked suitcase being unloaded; he then booked a Lufthansa flight on July 6 to Billund, again purchasing two seats for himself and his instruments.
