I am sure this has probably been discussed on here before, but my searching skills are failing me. Thus, I'll ask the question and feel free to simply direct me to the relevant previous post. I'm searching for a hard-sided bike case that falls within the dimensions of checked baggage for Southwest Airlines. The Southwest site says the following:
Bicycles (defined as nonmotorized and having a single seat), including Bike Friday and Co-Pilot, properly packed in a hard-sided bicycle box that fall within the dimensions and weight limits established for normal Checked Baggage, (i.e., 62 inches or less in overall dimensions and less than 50 pounds in weight). Pedals and handlebars must be removed and packaged in protective materials so as not to be damaged by or cause damage to other Baggage. Bicycles packaged in cardboard or soft-sided cases will be transported as subject to limited release.
That is why I'm seeking a hard case if anyone is curious. So my question is basically does anyone know which cases fall within these dimensions from experience?
