Flying with Brompton in a soft bag - never again?

@meganL No need to do a youtube video for that.
Soft bags are great for the train (it is required on the Eurostar trains) when you stay in control and you are the one (carefully) handling the bike
@meganL my partner and I flew with folding bikes in soft bags once. The bend in the rear rack of his upon landing was pretty jarring.
@meganL I have the padded version and it worked rather well. Never had any issues. I did stuff some clothing in between everything as well for extra protection.
@meganL It is an unfortunate outcome for the people in the video but not at all unsurprising.
Protect a bike on an aircraft. Start riding from the destination airport. Choose one.
@DurableAce @meganL Get a cardboard bike box from your local bike dealer. Most shops are nice about this and won't even charge you. Make sure to get sufficient foam material. Start riding at the airport. Just make sure that in advance you agree with a local bike store at the destination on a new box. #cycling #airtravel
