Preparing and packing your bike

  • Find out before booking whether the airline carries sport luggage (bike in the case) and how much the charges are.
  • Notify the travel agency or airline directly during the booking process that you want to take your own bike. This information will be passed on to the airline and you will receive separate notification
  • There are costs associated with registering with the airline. If you don’t receive any other notification, these costs are usually paid directly at the check-in desk.
  • Also think about transport from the airport to the hotel. For package travel deals: notify the travel agency about bike transport from the airport to the booked hotel and back when booking, otherwise additional costs may arise.
  • Cycling event organizers: transport is usually included in the travel cost. Inform yourself in good time before departure.

Now you can plan with peace of mind and get your bike safely to your destination!

At the Airport: Check-in and TSA Guidelines

Here is information to help you prepare for check-in and TSA travel screening and regulations for North America and international flights to the United States.

  • You should generally plan more time to check-in when you travel with a bike.
  • For early morning departures, we recommend the late night check-in service to save time on the day of departure.
  • Report to the check-in desk as usual. Once you have received your boarding pass, you usually have to go to a separate desk for bulky luggage.
  • All checked baggage must be screened. The method of screening varies by airport.
  • Many airports have automated in-line baggage screening systems where your checked baggage is placed on a conveyor belt behind the ticket counter. It is then screened and cleared remotely, outside of public view. This will pose a risk as TSA is not responsible for repackaging and closing the case with the same care that we, or our customers would have. It is recommended that you contact the Airline Check in Counter and request a TSA Agent to stay with the baggage. You may do this ahead of time, or at the time of check in.
