hey dudes flying my bike to geneva with me this summer rang airlingus they said 6 bike cap on there planes does anybody know if you can fly the bike as oversize baggage are they sharp about it or what thanks
flying bikes help please
alright colin,
last year when we were going over we went six at a time, six over one day and then the other six go the next day. works out grand cause ya do it coming back aswell so everyone gets the same amount of riding.
ohh and just book the stuff on as sports equipment, like golf clubus or something. can't remember why but i don't think they let bikes on as easily or something.
they didn't check the weight of our bags on the flight out but were fairly strict on it on the way back so watch out for any heavy (borrowed) bar signs in your bag....:D that one caught me out...

i heard that that 6 bike rule is only applicable to "unpacked" bikes. Once it's in a bike bag it should be alright.
Aerlingus homepage also states that all sports equipment is limited to 15kg which is a joke, I asked at the airport the last time when I flew and they told me that a bike is a bike and that there is no official weight limit, but of course you couldn't get that information black on white...
It's probably depending on who sits at the desk when u arrive, so good luck ;-)
In regards to flying back: they weigh in Geneva but you need to bring the bikes to the oversize place afterwards which is at the other side of the airport. So check in seperately, take lots of heavy stuff out while the friend can wait with the gear, then fill it up again after the weighing & bring to the oversize check in.

I would use some olive oil and a very, very large teflon coated pan.
