Qantus treats a bike like one bag (of the two you are allowed). No charge, no hassle. I've flown with them 5 or 6 times. If only all airlines were as good. My wife and I go on fully loaded tours so we take one crateworks bike box and one big duffle each (duffle packed with all of our panniers, tent, sleeping bag, etc). We are usually quite close to the weight limit, but never over. It works great.
Have fun Gino!
