I also flew with a bike bag, this pinnacle jobbie;

It was cheap and cheerful, with a bike bag you do need to be careful on how to pack it properly with lots of bubblewrap and cardboard, a hardshell box mean you don't need to worry too much about it.
Like Mike, I had a fixed wheel bicycle making it a lots less complicated (and steel to boot), so I didn't worry too much about part breaking, I took a geared bike home and that was fine, just put a thick cardboard on both side to keep the box stablised.
