The no name case was from Thorusa.com. I checked it as regular baggage on Southwest. Southwest considers a bicycle that fits in a standard size bag as luggage and does not charge for the bike. I removed the wheels and removed the derailleur from the frame. I also removed the rack and fenders, I did not take the fenders along. I am using spd pedals on the bike and removed the pedals and placed them in a plastic lunch bag and placed them in one of the pockets. this is a tight fit but do-able. I think that a brompton folds small but is 3 times more expensive. I may have to consider one in the future. The D8 packed in the case weighs less than the 50 lb limit, so I packed a bunch of clothes in the bag with the bike. I also place all the small parts and nuts and bolts in small plastic bag.

So, I am very satisfied with the bike and the case. I use it as my quick go to bike since I can keep it in the trunk of my car.
