That's how I did it. I know somebody else did the same with a 'Cello. (EasyJet in both cases)

More seriously, I'd imagine you'd have to talk to the airline. Booking a seat online I suspect you'll always be asked for passport details etc.
Cool - in the past Expedia required a passport number, but hopefully that's changed.
Any hassles doing this? From staff or anything unexpected to deal with?

Interesting that easyJet say guitars have to go in the hold and they'll only allow cellos on a seat.
Looks like I'll be buying better cases and paying the Ryanair checked baggage fee
You can thank me later.

People must put instruments on planes (in some form or another) all the time surely?
We're flying to Japan next year for some shows and I'vee already resigned myself to putting the guitars in the hold for those flights anyway, as paying for two extra seats both ways to Japan is a bit costly.
Hiscox Artist cases it is, then.
For scheduled flight covered by FAA/JAL regs, you can take on board.
If you travel first or biz, no issues.
Hold - if the skipper remembers to switch the heating on, then fine. But often they don't if no livestock in the hold.
Mind you if you want a reliced guitar with checking ....

If you have ANY other option - don't fly with Ryanair.
