Just flew back from Biarritz to Standsted. Nabbed a huge cardboard bike box from Decathalon and gaffer taped it up - HUGE. Came in at 18kg, just under ryanairs 20kg limit. All staff friendly and helpful at the departing airport, which made life nicer. Had to be shoved through the scanner at Biarritz.
No boot prints or damage to box! Saw them loading it carefully (possibly because it's easier than loading a box that big badly).
Bike needs a service but that's because of 8 days of touring with a racing bike.
