The wheels are off and the handlebars are off. Otherwise taped together and wrapped by baggage handlers in Bangalore airport with that saran wrap they otherwise use for suitcases. From Bangalore to Frankfort to Houston to Austin in three hops. The Frankfort connection was too tight so the two bikes were delivered two days after I arrived. Despite the appearance of the packaging, not big issues with the bikes from transit.
