I used this box to fly from Mexico to B.C. and from Switzerland to Montana and California. Despite what the bike shop told me, this box barely fits a mountain bike with 27.5" wheels. I needed to deflate my tires (so the tubless sealant dried-up), remove my fork and handlebars. After all that, the case would still not close flush. Every time I traveled, I prayed that the rear triangle would not get crushed. While my bike has survived the rear buckles have broken and the straps frayed. I also notice that TSA doesn't do a good job of rearranging pieces after opening the box.

It was there only case when i bought it in 2010, and it didn't have a case for the wheels, and the frame had no way to fasten down. Now that see the RoundTrip Transition, I will sell mine and buy the RoundTrip Transition for my next trip. So if you can afford it, buy the better one.

I used this case for airline travel from East Coast to Utah. Although it is a pain to drag through the airport, and you have to go to their "special" pickup area because it can't come out with normal checked luggage, it does protect the bike. I always put extra parts and such in the case, but stay below the airlines max weight for the bike and box (usually 75 pounds). Build your bike in the Motel/Hotel and stash. Sometimes there is a secure hotel storage area for large luggage as well. Once you learn how to pack a bike (YouTube) it only takes 20 minutes. And your bike arrives with you getting there and getting home.
