Traveling Wedding Dress

What about a traveling garment bag? The type that fold over?

I found this one on Amazon- you may have to double up your dress to get it to fit.

Wally bag!

I'd probably pay whatever the carry-on fee is or consider shipping the dress ahead of time through an insured carrier and arrange for it to be steamed/pressed when it arrives at the destination.

I have a 10 hour flight. I tried contacting the airline to see if they would help in transporting the dress. Sadly, they said to put it in the over head compartment or check it. It's to puffy so I reluctantly have to check it. I'm terrified it won't arrive with me. Good luck.

Ship it and arrange for steaming.

View Quoted Comment Hawaiian Airlines.
I'm gonna give them another call. I have had a couple of friends who have had destination weddings and they were allowed to hang the dress in the flight attendant closet. Of course they used different airlines.

View Quoted Comment Oh wow!! Maybe if you talk to the flight attendants in person??

View Quoted Comment I'd call the airline first.
If I receive the same response I'll check in in a large suitcase to minimize the wrinkles. Luckily I have a few days before the wedding to have it steamed.

I would pay the extra for a carry-on and plan to have a steamer available when you get there!
