get thee to a nunnery and ask if they kept one of the mattress bags that the nun bed mattresses came in.
or go to a mattress store
Ive generally been lucky in that my bike boxes have fit in cars, and or just been lucky for no rain the few times bike boxes have been out in the open--but when I think about the couple of times theyve been exposed to the elements, it was after I landed and could have found another bike box for the return.
good point to bring up though, to either have a bag available or simply buy plastic from a hardware store or something and tape it up, for getting to the airport
