Hello guys

As I travel several time/year by plane for my job (mostly internal flights in Europe) I was fascinated by this thread.

I ride a Dahon Vitesse D7 (and am very happy with it). I often have to travel inside France by car for work and I always have it in my car trunk. Riding through a unknown town is a very nice way to relax after a client meeting.
I would love to bring it with me on a plane but I'll not be able to do the gate check through X rays with my 20" Dahon.

I know that it fits in a classical hard suitcase, but on arrival I would not be able to ride ..if I have the suitcase...

So my question : does anybody knows about a suitcase that is both hard enough to protect the bike and can fold uppon arrival to be easily carried with a folder ?

If my question is strange/stupid, be gentle and pretend you didn't notice :-)
