I was only talking about shipping here in the states. BikeFlights is a lot cheaper than FedEx or UPS. Most people I thought had more than one bike. At my end I probably would pay Bike Flights even if it was the same price as the airlines just for the service. They pick up at your house and deliver back to your house. You don't have to drag your bike case along with trying to carry 2 suit cases etc. I had other cyclists recommended it to me and I thought it was too good to be true until I tried them for myself. I will never ship my bike through the airlines again unless it's overseas. Just trying to help at my end.
