    “It’s safe to fly Norwegian once more,” unless you play guitar or another longer-than-90cm instrument.

      From the link Norman supplied:

      “If your instrument’s bigger than 90 x 35 x 20 cm and you’d like it to travel in the cabin, you must book a separate seat for this (max. size 140 x 46 x 30 cm). Instruments in this size range may include guitars and cellos.”

      I don’t know much about the sizes of guitar cases. Some cello cases might have problems with the 46cm x 30cm, if the agent measures precisely.
