anyone got the contact for flying my bike to Europe from Rio

[S-Mendus]

Hi,

Please can someone help me out if they have any numbers and names they can give me to fly my bike back to Europe (it doesnt matter where just the cheapest option) I gather Frankfurt seems to be the best choice.

I would be really grateful as its getting close to that time and Im running out of ideas. The roll on roll off ferry is a bit expensive for me at 2200 euros.

Please help, any ideas welcome, from Rio or BA to Europe.

Thanks

Simon

Hi Simon,
2200 euro is a bit steep, you may already know but if you can find someone to share it will cost you 1670 including the bike. bear in mind that will drop you at Tilbury. The air fare is not cheap and you're not going to be able to crate, ship the bike and clear customs etc. for 320 euro. On top of the fare it's a requirement to have travel insurace as well.

You can only get the Grimaldi service from BA, according the the information they call at Rio but don't allow embarkation.

See if they have a cabin free you may get a deal on a late booking, I am sure you can do a bit of a selling job.

yeh it is a bit steep hey. I called Grimaldi direct and that is where I got the price from. Ill give Kevein a call and try to sort something out. Looks to me like it may be the only sensible way to do it though.

cheers

I gave Kevin a quick call to prime him, he said there maybe a alternative freight service from Rio, German Sud is the company, but you might have to arrange something with the captain regards the bike. Not sure if the Brazilian authorities causing the vehicle problem or the shipping companies.
