I flew down to Marseille from Manchester (via Gatwick) with BA in April. Turned up at the airport all smug that I'd packaged my bike really well in a cardboard bike box and got hit with a £30 charge because it weighed 24 kg (limit was 23kg) - that made me angry.
Luckily my bike arrived in perfect condition, I would have been really mad to have paid extra for the priviledge of letting them break my bike.
A thumb up to well padded cardboard boxes from me and a thumb down to the guy at the BA check in desk in Manchester!
