Just wondering if I could actually get in on a plane or would it need to be posted back.
The short answer to this is yes, you could get it on a plane. If it’s boxed, you can just turn up with it, pay the oversize/excess baggage charge and they’ll put it in the freight. Downside is the cost, which varies between £10-£20 per kilo depending on the flight and carrier.
I used to do this with F1 car parts when I worked at the F1 team and did occasional last-minute parts runs before races. The most I turned up with was 9 large crates totalling 270kg, so there is always space!
I would totally be doing this. There’s a guy in Sheffield with a bafanged up Big Dummy. I have major bike envy. If I could lay hands on a Big Easy I’d be all over it.
