Recommendations: Flying with a Brompton or other folder
Put a Brompton in a Cyclone Chubby (made by Radical Design, same outfit that makes the Brompton B-bag).
I have to go from USA to Honduras to USA to Spain.
Thus, have to pay three times for bike and/or overweight/oversize. Shipping direct to Spain is absurd: DHL wants almost enough to buy another one when I get there! FedEx $800 uninsured, UPS $852 insured.
Airline info on bikes invariably are for non-folders.
Would like to hear what y'all know about costs and handling. In the Chubby, the wheels and tongue come off and go inside with the bike. Size 118 x 81 x 50 cm (47.2 x 32.4 x 20"). Weight 23 kg if I remove all tools, patch kits, parts, etc.
