For traveling, I really recommend something like this - unless you play flamenco and/or percussive guitar.

But for "normal" classical styles, these guitars are great for taking with you on a trip.

Well, as you can see, the above linked guitar is an acoustic classical guitar. specifically made for travel. Many professional classical guitarists use these guitars while they're on the go.
Ugly? Perhaps, but very convenient for practicing.

Yes, it's an acoustic guitar.
You're right, you were specifically asking for a 1/2 sized classical guitar... the Yamaha CGS102A is quite good as a 1/2 sized guitar.

If you do want to save space and ahve a great tarvel anywhere guitar, the above is great.
