Amtrack, United, KLM, sell big boxes for bikes to ship in..

It easy to take the cables out to not have to re adjust them after re installing the bars ..

I got the suggestion at one airport , I should have Busked the reassembly show

with a tip jar,
at the arrival carrousel as it may have earned me a bit of the local currency
in exchange for the entertainment.
