Zip ties were really helpful for me. Cheap, Quick, and comes in large packs so you can cut and throw away. Also Virgin Atlantic and British Ariways are 2 of the only airliners that dont charge a $200 fee for bikes! They have to be boxed, but they count as a luggage. Lastly, take off your clips. Not worth it to walk around clicking. Plastic pedals are quick and easy to install and dont take away too much power
