Logistics question: what about the suitcase?

So I've been daydreaming about the touring bike I'll get if I ever hit the lottery -- Rolhoff hubs, S&S couplers -- something reliable and durable that I could pack into a suitcase and take on a plane with me anywhere.

So, let's suppose that I fly to Switzerland for a tour down the Rhine, finishing up in the Netherlands. I get a ride from the airport to a hotel, re-assemble the bike, put the panniers on ...

... and then what do I do with the suitcase I brought the bike in? If I were doing a loop, I suppose I could ask to leave it at the hotel for a while. But for a one-way tour, how do you get your suitcase to meet you at the end?
