Thanks a million. I will transfer in Qatar but but still be on a Qatar flight. 
 

so all the same stuff as national flights then?

 

once again thanks a lot 

Flying with your bike is quick and easy with the big airlines.

I fly Emirates when i emigrated to Dublin and it was super simple. Just phone the airline after booking the ticket and let them know you bringing a bike bag. Take it to oversize after checking in and collect at your destination. 

Was an absolute breeze. I used a Scicon bag and had no issues. My only issue was finding a taxi big enough to get to my new lodgings 🤣

Travelled twice over the seas with my bike... Used cardboard bicycle box both times without issues. 

 

Will likely do it again...

Hi everyone

Sorry for ressurecting an old thread.

Does anyone have any experience fitting XL size frames in the Titan Bikeport bag?

I am in need of a bag and for the money the Titan bag seems to be a no brainer😁

Just need to make sure my bike (XL pyga Hyrax) will fit.

Halfway to the weekend😁

Not a bad option either.

The titan is a really good looking bag though.

If it's not a hard case, I wouldn't dare. Unfortunately I have seen some costly damage on travel bags.

Would opt for hardcase or bikebox options. 

All the best.

The bikebox thing very cool! Had no idea something like that existed. Very well priced too.

If only it had wheels...😅

Some feedback from @Titan Racing Bikes regarding fitting an XL size enduro bike would be much appreciated 🙏

I can vouch for the Titan having bought one a few months ago and it’s great (for my L xc bike, I have no idea what an XL enduro bike would do). I looked at the bike boxes but they push you over the weight limit, although I suspect that may in anycase happen with an enduro bike?

Awesome, thanks for the feedback.

Yeah I kind of made my peace that I will be paying some overweight fees😅

Apologies, some figures would have probably helped in the original post😅

Wheelbase length should be 1263mm according to the website.
