What is the weight limit for bags for airline travel?
The limit may vary from one company to the next. Many airlines have set a maximum weight of 25 kg per bag. You should always enquire about rules and restrictions before leaving for your trip.

What is the bagage surcharge for flying with a bike?
Again, there are differences between airline companies. Some take your destination into account when calculating the surcharge.
You should always inform your airline or travel agency that you will be travelling with a bicycle when booking your ticket.

Is there a risk that the low pressures of an airplane bagage compartement will cause the Helium’s air bags to burst?
No. the airbags never reach a very high pressure because of their large volume. Just like bicycle tires will not blow up during air travel, the inflatable walls inside the Helium bike case will easily be able to withstand pressure fluctuations.

How would you fit aerobars (for time trial/triathlon bikes)?
To fit TT bars fixed on ''bull horn'' type handlebars, you remove the handle bar as shown on the packing instruction and you place them parallel to the frame. We suggest to cover up the TT bar with some padding. Some model of TT bar extention may require removal.

Can the helium bike case carry an integrated seatpost frame?
Most integrated seat post type frames don't fit in the Helium Case.
We are working on a version of the Helium Case that will carry integrated seat post. We are hoping that the Intergrated version of the Helium Case will be available before the end of 2011.
Currently X-small frames with integrated seat post fit in the actual Helium case. A large 2009 Trek Madone just fits since it is a "semi integrated" seat post.
