I have never flown with that airline but flying from the US into the UK it cost me an arm and a leg ($200) apparently that won't be your case though. But I do advise a hardcase. I got one and thank fully it was all in one piece, but you could tell it had been through a beating, despite the fragile sign...or the fact they lost it for 2 days =( But yes. Hardcases all the way if you care a second for your bike.
