I would just pack my panniers for touring, pack them all in a lightweight nylon duffle bag for the flight, and then store the bag in one of the panniers on the tour. Seems simple enough.
you don't use panniers, you have something like a large duffel bag which your gear goes into at the airport and becomes one piece of luggage.
on arrival take bike out of suitcase, set up suitcase as a trailer, duffel bag and gear goes in trailer. works well.
