Thanks for your offers and replies.
Unfortunately I am flying with American Airlines, so the tickets are among the cheapest, but the baggage allowance is not good. Unless a bike in a box measure 62 dimensional inches (that is length+height+width) or less, you are charged $150 each way.
The smallest bike box I've found so far is 79in. It's too small on purpose.
I may be better off hiring a bike locally. I could get a Bianchi Volpe for $25/day.
Would be interesting to know what allowances regarding bikes different airlines have.
