Hi again Graham !
Yes we flew from Cabinda to Luanda in a military cargo airplane. It's of course non official. The flight is just one hour long but we had to wait for 4 days the plane big enough to contain our Toyota Land Cruiser. But if i have well understood you've got bikes and i think you will wait less than we did because there are several flights a day in normal cargo planes.
We went to the harbour to check for the ferry (beginning of may 2004). It was still working to Soyo and then Luanda. We know that the road from Soyo to Luanda is now safe so you can stop there. We didn't have an exact price but it seems that it was the same price as the plane !
If you want to try the flight (too funny), you just have to go to the airport. The military airbase is on the left. Ask someone on the airport or on the military base and follow your instinct. Prepare some words in Portuguese (and after in Russian because the crew is russian) as the commandant only speaks that language !
Good luck !
Bye

Easy, but a bit expensive. I can give you their contact info via email if you want to try the same.
Cheers
