CTC bags?
Get a box from a bike store at either end? -
Buy plastic foil in city you arrive in ...and lots of it (if you wanna get luxury, buy some bubble plast from the post office).

Pack your bike in a cardboard bike box which pretty much any UK bike store won't have a problem giving you for free, get off the plane and put your box in the bin.
Google your destination town/city for bike shops, email them and ask if they can keep an old cardboard bike box for your arrival on X date.
Works every time.

Google "rinko bag" or "ostrich bike bag"
They are popular in Japan for travelling on trains, pack down to the size of a bidon.

@TheSchwartz
What are people's solutions for when you're doing an A to B multi-day tour and you need to transport your bike on either end?
E.g. I'm planning a two week tour of Italy in April, but want to get there and back on trains that don't allow fully assembled bikes.
Is there such a thing as a bike bag that is small and light enough to carry the whole way for use on the way back? Or something cheap and easily available enough to chuck when you get there and buy again for the way back?
Surely someone out there must have run into this problem and worked out a neat solution?
