Don't get me started on the environment side of things, you monster.
I know it sucks, but 24h hauling a bike box across 3 trains and train stations doesn't sound that pleasant either. I'd understand it more if it would save you taking the bike apart.

For me it's primarily the environmental concerns that will see me taking the train to Italy next time, rather than flying, but I think the amount of uncomfortable bike lugging might actually be less, as the distance you cover in an airport is pretty ridiculous, plus less meticulous packing and worrying about damage, and the ability to take another suitcase rather than having to jam everything into the bag, which will make it much easier to haul. Plus I like train journeys

Because the environment, you monster.
Also flying with a bike fucking sucks.
