(Deon) Posted July 5, 2013 Share We are flying Emirates. On Emirates you get 1 piece of checked luggage weighing in at a max of 30kg. So in short you don't pay for a bike if it's under 30kg. You also get 7kg hand luggage and I'm taking my helmet in my hand. My boxed DH bike came in at 21kg. I've smashed in a few other odds and ends to get it close to 30kg. Some of the other guys in my crew are going Turkish. On Turkish you pay 90 euro each way for a bike. 60 for the SA-Turkey sector and 30 for the Turkey-Geneva sector. They then still have their full luggage allowance which is 30kg I think. I've only flown Emirates and Qatar with bikes before but I think the 30kg on Emirates makes them my first choice airline for flying with a bike. Despite Dubai airport. I've not used them before but on BA apparently you can book a bike in for 35 pounds each way. you have to notify them up front tho When it comes to flying with a bike the NUMBER ONE rule is to know the terms and conditions of your particular airline. I see far too many choppers on this site in particular bitching about this and that airline for charging them for transporting their bikes. You need to remember a few things when flying. You ARE just a number. They are in the business to make money. The dolly at the counter isn't trying to steal your life savings. It's a ball ache for them to transport bikes. Hope that helps. Geez, you flying tomorrow?! I need to get some tools, you home later - in fact, you home now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he really wanted to tell his mother after hitting up that line http://vimeo.com/69374632 I watched the excitable-Italian's walk through of that line. Those gaps are rather serious. Good thing they put gap jump warning signs for people like Peach http://vimeo.com/69531414 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whatsup! Posted July 17, 2013 Share Wow - Just back from Morzine. What an awesome riding experience. Defintely worth going if you enjoy riding technical single track. You dont need to be a full on down hill junky. Next time I will take a cadence meter just to see how much I didn't peddel Just a recommendation to anyone going, make sure you pack a kidney belt.
