can I take my pushbike on the plane or is there any other way I can get it out to Spain

You'd probably have to break it down and put it in a specialized bike carrier- I don't know much about them but I've seen people with them at airports so it is possible.

It's probably cheaper to get it shipped than buy a case for one use?

Yes you can take your bike. Contact the airline and ask them what you need and you will pay extra. You can use a bike box and these can be expensive or dismantle your bike, protect it with padding and use a delivery bike box.

Have a look at the websites sor EasyJet and Ryanair. They allow sports equipment. But also look at Sendmybag.com They do door to door delivery at about the same cost as a suitcase on a low cost airline.

I have taken bikes to and from Spain several times on the aircraft, last time I did with Ryanair it was £50 each way for a sport bag, same for golf clubs, ski equipment etc. I purchased a large bike transporter bag from ebay second hand for about £30. the wheels need removing and putting in the pockets inside the case, I protected other parts with bubble wrap. all in all it is relatively simple. Sports equipment gets checked in at a separate desk and arrives on a carousel just for awkward shaped packages. They do not let you transport any of the small compressed air capsules which I found out to my cost.

Go on google look for parcels to go I sent electric golf trolley last year picked up from my house delivered to my house in Quesada 4 days £25.00 no hassle

Thanks for all your suggestions easyJet wanted £84 and due to the size a lot of quotes were coming in quite expensive finally I used parcel monkey £80 including insurance door to door I’ll let you know if all goes well due to be picked up today

Was that to ship a electric bike ? I’m struggling to find a shipping company that will ship an ebike ( only if take off battery ) but told airlines are not allowed to have battery’s in carry on luggage or checked bags so impossible unless drive to Spain any advise would be appreciated

Parcel hero in the UK is about the cheapest , they use all mainline carriers .

I used parcel monkey wasn’t to optimistic emailed them to see when it would arrive they said tomorrow but to email them back if I didn’t receive it and low and behold it turned up . Not the same with Leroy merlin I’m afraid 2 weeks later still no show
