How to move framed paintings by plane
I will soon move with two paintings by air. I'm afraid to check them to avoid damage.
Last time I was able to bring them as carry-on and give it to the FA for the coat hanger. She did so grudgingly, therefore I have the feeling I should be better prepared this time, hence the question.
Specific info:
- Size: ~50x80 cm or 20x30"
- Material: Nothings hazardous, no glass
- Packaged: Bubble wrap & card bord box
- Route: SFO -> ZRH
Best Answer
The best way to move framed paintings is this:
- Get a local specialist to remove the painting from the frame and to tear the frame apart.
- Have it transported in a cylinder, the specialist might provide one.
- Once at the destination have a local specialist assembly the frame and painting.
I've seen this done many times, always with perfect result.
