Huh? A BMX is better if you want to grind yo pegs on the Eiffel Tower but they're pretty effing lame as practical transport and not much shorter than an actual bike for transporting.
What's wrong with a folder? You could get a SS one and make it fixed for max cool cat points.

if you ride a fixed wheel bicycle with only a front brake, then packing it small should be very easy.

Really want a bike for the trips abroad, like to Paris (by coach) next week.

What is the max size allowed?

Overall length 1450mm (57")
Part of my original thinking was a bike that would do everything and fit in the car without disassembly. However,Mrs. E's elderly Raleigh Twenty (http://raleightwenty.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoid=196048688)
-weighs about the same and when folded uses less than half the boot floor - needless to say I've bought one as well

The grey R20 cost £12 from ebay - I've spent on tyres and paint, but recouped more than that by selling the unwanted pedals, brake levers, stand and safety bracket as 'vintage Raleigh, suit Chopper'. If fitting into a coach luggage bay is the main issue, a bit more size and weight than a Brompton might not be a problem, but price (50 Raleigh Twentys to the Brompton?) might be the clincher?

Anyone tried using a bmx instead of a folding bike?
Trying to think of alternatives that aren't a folding bike. (Full size bike isn't an option, according to NX/Eurolines sites)
