Gig Bag for Short Scale Acoustic

Can anyone give advice on a nice padded gig bag for my Santa Cruz Firefly Acoustic guitar? It measures 36"x13"x3.75". Thanks!

I have an Art and Lutherie Ami. The bag it came with is super. They may sell them solo, or that may what you want to use for some search criteria.

Did it not come w/ a case?

I only ask because I wouldn't be comfortable in any capacity with a 3k plus acoustic guitar in anything but a really nice hard shell case.

It came with a case but I need something I can lug around an airport with my other baggage. I won't be checking it so a really padded gig bag with backpack style straps should do the trick.

Sometimes the airline will insist that you check a guitar. I'd be very nervous about using just a gig bag.

Yeah, I've had trouble on planes with even ukuleles. Had to beg a couple of times to get them in overhead bins.

Unless you've taken it before, have confirmation that it's cool and are the persuasive type, I wouldn't risk it.
