Nina Grundlingh Posted June 7, 2021 Share Hi all, I will be flying to the US with Qatar. I have a Scicon aerocomfort road bike bag. Will this be accepted with Qatar? Is it necessary to turn the handlebars around or can I put my bike in as is with handlebars in place in the Scicon bag? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michaelbiker Posted June 11, 2021 Share As long as it fits in your luggage allowance and weight limit they “should” be okay. The dimensions are usually the issue but i have yet to see them pull out a measuring tape. Flew Singapore to Cape Town last week without a problem using an evoc bag. They didn’t check the bars, just asked if the tires had been deflated. Nina Grundlingh 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fitbull Posted June 11, 2021 Share You will run into trouble in the US if you have any local flights with US carriers. I have been nailed a few times and yes they WILL pull out the tape measure normally around $200 per flight Nina Grundlingh 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andreas_187 Posted June 11, 2021 Share Everything you need to know will be stated very clearly on the Qatar Airways website. It is no point telling the baggage checker that someone on bikhub had a cousin who knew somebody who flew with Qatar and said it was ok Duane_Bosch, Long Wheel Base and Zebra 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andreas_187 Posted June 11, 2021 Share Seriously though, excuse my earlier sarcastic post. Go onto Qater Airways website and you will find the exact dimensions allowed and all other regulations regarding weight etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
