Thanks Dominique , I’m glad to hear you could fit in so much international bike travel amidst all the covid curveballs. Yes, I believe pre-booked the extra cargo/weight is a bit more cost effective than doing so when arriving at the check-in counter. And great point on the TAXI services – I’m glad to report that the humble Skoda Octavia managed to swallow 3 whole bicycle boxes on our way to the Athens airport 🙂

I use the Scicon Aerocomfort TSA hard shell Tandem Bike Travel Bag. I have traveled with it from Thailand to USA and USA to France back to Thailand back about three times so far since 2020. On board I have a specialized s-works 15K USD. The case is protective looking at the impact on the outside it has received. I had a large scratch on the box that occurred in Qatar during a transfer. The box is solid résistent and easy to move around. Fully loaded I usually average 28 kg and pay the extra fee in advance when exceeding. Some airlines have different weight and oversize rules. I will mention in this article something important that was missing: most taxi car service at airports around the world don’t have the room to accommodate the size of the case. So I strongly suggest users to pre-book or book at airport special car services. It cost a little bit more but the package is precious. I have also taken my case all other Europe on the TGV Eurostar and also in USA east coast train. Good luck all
