If you get to a small airport, you can ask if you can photograph your bike as it goes through the x-ray machine!
Make sure you print out the airlines baggage regulations and take a tape measure. Check-in can be awkward and sometimes its easier just to measure for them. My bike bags were inside the normal suitcase dimensions and didn't cost anything extra. I vote for soft bags.

Is there a thread about bike bags and putting bikes on a plane? My new Fairlight Strael has arrived in the UK and, unfortunately, it looks like I won't be able to ride it back to Valencia when I go to the UK in September and so will have to fly with it instead.
Any recommendations? I don't mind investing a little as I'll likely use it a fair bit in the future.
