bikes are free on EL AL ... as long as you don't exceed the 20 extra kg limit ... and as long as you let them know about the bike when ordering your ticket

see http://www.elal.co.il/elal/english/allaboutyourflight/beforeyourflight/luggageandbaggage/en_flyingwithbiks1208 when the service was new, El Al's home page banner had a bike friendly airplane.

I used this service a few months ago with a Trico hard case ... but was charged for the extra weight on the return flight. Trico cases are tough and reliable ... but heavy.
