What an average mechanical person can do is unclear to me. But it is straightforward and some limited knowledge of the bike is useful for travel.
More generally, the answer will change according to suitcase. The two standard ones are the Samsonite Carlton and F'Light. The F'Light is marginally larger -- and technically 2" over the limit -- but apparently much easier to pack.
