Bike as "sports baggage" on a Airplain
I was just reading some thing interesting in a German outdoor magazine about preparation for any flight trips, like all this common thinks like "don't forget your Passport" and preparation in time before entering the Airport..
They saying that Airlines normally allow bulky "sports baggage" for transport on a plain for about 50-Euros around the world, if arranged up front.
Any "sports baggage" like Kayaks with several meter in length, bicycles,
diving gear and other stuff can be arranged to put on a plain for shipping wold wide as long as it fits in to the plain and is acknowledged as "sports baggage" !
Well.... how about to declare a WRT bike as "sports baggage" rather than a "vehicle" or "heavy luggage" which will cost a lot more......
The recommendation is to talk to the Airline to find a way to convince them that your bike is a "sports baggage" you need to do what ever you do to enjoy your "sports riding" like a mountain biker need his "wire donkey" to play around on muddy tracks far away from home....
Would be interesting to know how others managed to do this and experience as such... to fit a bike in a Airplain.
