#PackYourBike
PREPARE AND PACK THE BIKE
- Find out in advance: Check whether your airline transports sports baggage (e.g. bicycle in suitcase) and what charges apply.
- Register directly: Register your bike with the airline or travel agency when booking.
- Plan for costs: Registration may be subject to a fee, usually payable at check-in.
- Take events into account: Transportation is often included in cycling events – clarify beforehand.

At the airport: check-in and TSA guidelines
- Check-in: Allow extra time for bulky baggage. For early flights, use the late-night check-in for a stress-free start.
- Baggage control: After check-in, you will be forwarded to the bulky baggage counter. All baggage is checked, partly automatically.
- TSA security: The TSA can open your baggage, but cannot always carefully re-seal it. Ask at check-in for a TSA agent to be present.
- More information: Details on TSA checks and permitted items can be found at www.tsa.gov/travel.
