I've done it with my Quickbeam. When I arrived at the other end, I stowed the pipe insulation in a bag, put on the pedals, straightened the bars, and rode to my hotel. The frame got a tiny scratch on it going home, nothing serious. I was able to watch the baggage handlers with it changing planes in Phoenix, and they seemed perplexed but handled it nicely. Watching them toss bags around you understand how important it is to pack carefully, and why it might be better to send a bike unbagged and unboxed. Now that most airlines are charging for checked bags, the cost penalty for checking a bike isn't as big as it used to be.
