Hi people..


Has anyone tried travelling overseas in budget airline with your road bike in bike box  ?

I had called the airline, however they said the baggage is too big(length: 126cm, height: 77cm, depth: 22cm) and they might not accept the baggage to even board the plane. The staff over the phone, suggested to spilt the bike into 2 boxes. However, that is not economical for me.

Does anyone has similar experience and would like to share ? Your help would be greatly appreciated. =]
