Hi Ted
As long as the crate fits in the aircraft, and the contents are safe (i.e. petrol drained and battery disconnected), the company is only concerned with the weight and volume, whichever they can charge more for!
FWIW, I shared a crate the first time I sent the bike to Bs As but the saving was minimal. My guess at the difference in weight between one two bike crate and two one bike crates is at most 20 kilos. The total weight of our two GS's plus luggage plus crate was > 600 kilos!
I'm sailing this time by Grimaldi. I'm retired, so the 24 day passage doesn't worry me and it's much greener, competitively priced, the food is great, you see so much, and (allegedly!) it's simpler getting the bike released by Aduana.
Regards, Mick
