I don't think the airlines will take it unless it's in a box. I'm not sure whether the airline provided cardboard boxes will fit a non S&S tandem, but I'd tend to doubt it. And I wouldn't trust an expensive bike in an airline cardboard box.

FWIW, we use a Bike Pro USA Tandem Race case. A little pricey, but does a good job protecting the bike.
