This is the B&W "Clapton" case. It is less than 62" total. I believe the 65" total is for the box that the Clapton case ships in. I have this case and have flown with it. Note that the locks are not TSA approved. I recommend a luggage strap with a TSA lock. The strap will also secure the telescoping handle and help prevent it from being damaged.

Also, FWIW, a Brompton with an extended seat post will not fit in this case unless you remove the seat post (not a simple task). And a Brompton with a standard seat post is a tight fit in this case. For those reasons, we recommend the Brompton telescoping seat post for customers who intend to use the Clapton case.
