I was curious, for our upcoming bike touring trip from Portland Maine to Prague, Czechia how much would bikeflights be and when I used their web site calculator the price was astronomical and not about the same as the oversize charge.
I agree with this post if you are using the 1-box Santana case as I do. So far all of our travesl have been domestic and after flying it once we started using bike flights to ship it ahead. Bike flights cost about the same as the oversize charge and you can lock the case and not worry about the TSA inspection. If we ever take it across the pond then we will probably invest in the S&S two case system and take it as luggage.
