Flying a motorbike to Djanet or Algiers or Sahara
 

I have been toying with the idea of flying with my bike to Djanet (and back) from the UK. Anyone else thought of doing similar? I would assume the possibilities are:

Uk - Algiers then head south by road
From UK Ride to Paris - Fly direct to Djanet
From UK Fly to Tozeur (Tunisia) then ride across.

Perhaps fly to Niger and ride 'up'

anyway I appreciate your ideas.

if you're looking to avoid the tar and time taken to ride, then I'd be inclined to talk with Karim at Air Algerie Heathrow about sending your bike out ahead of you. I don't recall the reason, but it was £300 to send a bike and £150 to bring it back. Karim's number is on Chris Scott's website under the tips section on shipping a bike home. next time I go, I plan to either airfreight or drive down with the bikes in the van across the med and down through algeria.

I think CS flew his bike back (from Tam?) after his mishap last year.
