In regards to vacationing with your bike, most airports have a luggage storage sections that you can rent for fairly cheap. For instance, LAX will let you store large specialty items to include your bike for $15/day. In Athens, Greece, you can store it within their international airport 14 Euros/day ($15.22). For more than 10 days, Athens will give you special pricing of 59 euros ($67) + 4.5 Euros ($5.10) for additional days. This is how people handle racecations. There is no TBT option for most international travel and shipping it costs a fortune.Many airports do not offer this post 9/11 and it simply does not work for our itineraries. For example, last trip was flying into Boston, leaving from Newark. Next trip is flying into Ottawa and out of Montreal.
Sorry, "this is how people handle racecations" is a ridiculous thing to say. May also handle it with TBT. For some reason that bothers you [/shrug] You have a hard on for TBT, I get it. Me, I'm fine with them.
Also, let's say I come from Montreal and fly into and out of LAX (even though I live here, just for example). TBT is charging me $360 to go LAX to Montreal so assume it's the same for reverse. two week vacation. Now I spend airline fees (let's say $300) plus 10 days of storage. So now I've spent $450 instead of $360 (not including an amortized box, I travel once per year typically to race so it has to be added) No idea how that is supposed to make any sense.
And I don't really have to say that I don't use TBT for races it doesn't service. Non sequitur
