    Thanks, that is all very helpful and I will pack accordingly!

    Bryan, maybe the version 3 of the bag addresses those faults? I'm happy to remove saddle, handlebar etc if it helps anyway, don't need the "convenience" of leaving the bike fully assembled

    possibly. Like I said, I havent any first hand experience with it. What I mentioned is just what I found when I googled around for different reviews.

    If anyone wants one of the Scicon bags I have one for sale. Only used twice. I’ll do it for €70 less than whatever CRC are charging. PM me if you’re interested.

    Flying to canada with a mountain bike in a bike bag.
    Traveling to toronto(aer lingus) and then on to vancouver (air canada), all booked through aer lingus.
    Getting a number of different answers from aer lingus -
    - book as extra bag (doesnt need to be sports equip for transatlantic flights),can be booked on website.
    - book as sports equip (by phone)
    - check it in on day of travel as oversized baggage, will there def be space?

    There was a moment of panic when an aer lingus staff member told us that there was no guarantee our baggage would be transfered to our second flight..which didnt really make sense if our originl bags would be moved!

    Any experience or opinion appreciated!

    Quick question and didn’t want to start a new thread.
    Should I lock my bike box before checking it in with Aer Lingus?

    We were told in airport not too as they will cut through zips or bag to get in if they want to check it so youd rather they can just unzip it!

    I was in the queue so really last minute.
    She said to lock it, that it would be fine.
    It’s an internal lock on a catch so they’ll have to break it to open it
    Fingers crossed

    I got a "free" lock with my new bike box and they said that it is "TSA friendly" in that the security people can open it with some kind of universal airport security mater key or some sh!te like that.
    Don't know what "TSA" is....sounds like American for something so I'm not sure if it is valid in Europe. Anyway, coming from Ballyfermot I'd have the lock open myself in about 10sec :o , so I think they're only for piece of mind kinda thing. Anyone wants to see what's in the box, they'll see it :D
