B & W Case

Just to be clear, this is the case I'm referring to:

I'm not aware of a trailer solution, but it's not anything that I've looked for. I do business travel and use the bike to explore in the evenings.

I too have the same; I've flown to three cities - all baggage checked (no charge status miles) - no problem with the hard case - I kinda think it's not that well made but it is durable and light so far - I probably add 10 pounds to it. . . so it definitely works! And, I've flown outside the continental US with it. I haven't gate-checked it (yet).
