In this week's episode, the Noob tries to get his bike on a plane..
So basically, I'll be moving back to Ishikawa in about 20 days. Of course, I have to take the bike with me.
Option 1 (which was kuroneko yamato) want 15.000 yen for the job. My plane ticket is 17.700yen so, yeah, not happening.
Option 2 is to use the airliners. ANA said that "if the total of three dimensions does not exceed 203cm you can take it with you, or else we will have to confirm...".
Judging from the geometry data, I have around 25 (or thereabouts) of spare cm, so it should fit the above category.
I want to ask two things:
1) What's your experience of transferring your bike with an airliner in Japan? Did it go smoothly or they balked at the request?
2) How should I pack the bike? Any not-so-expensive carry cases to suggest?
Thanks in advance for any guidance!
Cheers!
