My tuppence worth. Travelled more than the average bear with my bikes.
Used a box once, did the job, it was beat up but the bike was fine. I watched out of the window of the plane and winced as the handler 1...2...3....lobbed the box through the air onto the plane (Orange 5 at the time)
I've since used an EVOC bike bag, short haul, long haul (South America, Asia, North America, Europe), normally my carbon enduro bike and no issues at all. Usually pack some clothes and what not around some of the fragile parts.

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.
