As some of you know my bike got a little dinged up by the airline despite using a decent bike box returning from Berlin last year. As a result I'm uncomfortable using any kind of box as I believe the box led the handlers to treat the contents with less care than they normally would. (Everyone else on my flight came back with pristine bike despite them using just tarpaulin).
Given my experience what would you do: a simple bike bag or just clear cellophane with pipe lagging on the frames?
If figure the more exposed the bike the more care they'll take of the bike...
