I have flown all over europe with my bikes. I invariably use the cheap airlines. I use a home made bag made of spinnaker cloth. It amounts to a duvet cover with very thin elastic rope tied around it. I have never had a problem. My last flight was from Bulgaria to Denmark and I wrapped the Brompton in a duvet cover and shrink wrapped it at the airport. Travelling like this means I just wrap the cover up and take it with me for the return trip. The only trouble I have ever had is when I took it in a cardboard box . Talking to a couple of baggage handlers in Denmark. They said if a bike is in a box it is protected and they can throw it about. If it is in a soft bag it is not protected and they take more care. It makes sense to me.
