HA! That's WAY off. Here is a link for a quote from PA to Milan...
http://www.bikeflights.com/bicycle_shipping.aspx
If the link didn't work, I just got a quote for $800 for PA to Milan, round-trip, using one of their cases, weight 30lbs, and expedited shipping (<5days). Using my personal case would be about $50 less, but their CrateWorks cases are pretty good (never used one though).
Don't forget this is insured shipping too. As the guy posted above they make it super easy and worry free. I checked a mtn bike once on a flight from NY to Alaska, and despite it being 14 years ago, I will never do it again for various reasons.
I think you really need to contact them and not believe everything you read on the Internet!
