DH flew for the first time this winter. The Thule bike case was around $300, and SWA charges $50 each way for a bike (most airlines charge $80 - $100 each way). He could have used a bike box from a LBS and shipped UPS for about $40 each way, but he wanted the protection of a case and to keep his bike "with" him. I think he would ship his "extra" Bianchi in a box via UPS, but not the Madone. We see decent road bikes for rent in some larger cities and vacation spots, you might call around. Riding would be awesome, even better on your own bike.
