You can even take advantage of the attachement system in the front to carry a battery, electrify the Brompton, and enjoy the Brompton even more…

Good idea. I often travel by combining a folding bike and public transportation. It's a great way to travel and visit cities.

Watch out: Most airlines don't allow bringing a bag the size of the Brompton as carry-on luggage.
An easy and cheap way to fly with the Brompton is to simply ask a Brompton store to give you a couple of the boxes the Bromptons are originally shipped with instead of discarting them. Then, before flying back, either keep the boxes at the hotel, or go to a hardware store and shrink standard carton boxes down to the size of a Brompton.
