Hi Guys,
Anyone have any experience importing their bike (road bike) for their own use as oversized luggage into Ezeiza, Buenos Aires?
Could I expect any issues in customs? Does anyone have any experience to share on this
Sending it with BA does not seem to be a major issue as long as it is packaged appropriately in a bike carry bag or box.
I would have to check also with connecting flights (from Dublin too).
BA policy is http://www.britishairways.com/en-gb/information/baggage-essentials/sporting-goods-and-musical-instruments
Larger items of up to 190cm x 75cm x 65cm (75in x 29.5in x 25.5in) can be carried for an additional over-sized bag charge. (Currently, we waive this charge so you do not pay it.) Any items bigger than these dimensions will require separate shipping as cargo.
KLM also mention it in their policy: http://www.klm.com/travel/gb_en/prepare_for_travel/baggage/exceptional_baggage/index.htm
Thanks
Jon
