I've looked at their baggage page and my brain hurts. Can I just check it in as regular luggage ? 16'' hardtail frame of it makes a difference ?

Thanks!

Cheaper to post I'd guess, they are bound to ask questions when you check it it and make it sports equipment.

I'm not sure if the person I might buy it off will post abroad... And even if they did Shirley it's cheaper to take it on a flight of I'm already in the country? Unless you know a good international courier ?

Bike is £60. Worst case - you might get away with paying less but allow £60 then you get a bonus if they take it as regular checked for £30.

Don't bet on it though, they also like to charge per set of skis even if both are in the same bag and are inside the allowed weights and measurements!

Thanks yes , but that's the thing, it's not a bike.... Maybe it is to the folks at Ryanair?

Frame on its own not that big. Just find a bag it will go in and take it as normal hold luggage. If a soft bag wrap it up and put rolled up cardboard between the drop outs

I haven't bought it yet so not sure if it will fit. I reckon a 16'' hardtail will go
I'm a normal case/ bag?

Actually yeah it'll go in a suitcase, I've put a road frame in a (big) suitcase before.

with any other airline....
If it was within the standard baggage sizes (they don't seem to list them) even if it was a box it should be processed as normal luggage. It's only if it's bigger than the standard size that it becomes excess/oversize luggage.
