Northern California - Does anyone have a tandem case (airplane) that we could rent or borrow?

Thinking about taking our tandem on a plane for a trip in a few months.

We had lousy luck with a tandem rental on our first trip to Europe (heavy, slow, didn't fit as well), so we'd prefer to take our Cannondale (does not have couplers).

This seems to be the best tandem case (http://www.bikeprousa.com/tandem.php?CA=&UID=20090622113222151.194.17.172), but it's a bit expensive at $650.

Have any of you flown with tandems? Anyone have a case? Any tips or experience?

Thanks!

I believe someone on craigslist was selling it used for $250. Had it on for a few weeks but no bites. Not on right now but I bet it will be pretty soon. Maybe you can post a WTB.
