There's a guy in SF who makes messenger bags under the name "Freight Baggage". He now makes flight cases as well. It's basically a cordura box, with hard plastic sides that is designed to fit your bike (taken apart) in with regular checked luggage. It works really well, but you have to take everything but the BB off.
