Flying to Oz won't be on a budget airline. Flying to Spain, etc. probably will be.
I've had a skewer damaged flying from Oz (cardboard box) but that was my own fault for leaving it in the wheel (first time flying with a bike). My other bike in a cardboard box got its own special cage flying with Emirates. 30kg allowance too :)

I've taken my carbon to Oz for the last few years, always in a soft case. It's an Evoc, which has fibre glass supports and hard plastic covers for the wheels too. I've always taken the time to wrap all frame tubes in pipe cladding too, just in case and I've never had an issue.
It's light too.
Oh, and I keep that giant inflatable bubble wrap stuff that things are posted in sometimes. It's perfect for filling in gaps around the bike.
