I've planned to go to Canada and Alaska this year with my bike for a 7-8 weeks trip. If the Fly your bike program of Air Canada will not be continued, I probably have to cancel my plans. Hope they will announce some informations soon!

@Oli Dear:
For Frankfurt - Toronto last year rates for the bike transport were:
with Air Canada ticket: Euro 900.00 + CAD 90.00 additional fees in Canada
without Air Canada ticket: Euro 1200.00 + CAD 90.00 additional fees in Canada
Hope they will not be much more expensive this year!

I don't really understand this policy of Air Canada.

Hi all ,

Things are like this, we have worked for Lufthansa last year sorting the restructuring and placement of their myAirCargo product on the market for 2017/2018.

Being close to the scene because we provide green card insurances, bike storage, paperwork in Africa, Europe and asia and cater for global over landers on 2 and 4x4 wheels we know what the vibe is and where the market is heading to.

Our services can be found here:

Lobagola - Green card insurance

Lobagola - Motorcycle services

Motorcycle air freight lacks volume, volume is needed and that's the key issue. Both of the two biggest providers are lacking volume, to dedicate their space in the cargo plains in time, meaning much in advance so people can plan their journey etc etc. Community needs to kick in and show openly their interest.

So what I am keen to push here is that people send their emails of interest as early as possible, this will show potential to the airliners and will for sure bring earlier details of their flight scheme.

That's all, and you can't blame them for their approach, just sayin

Let me know if we can provide any additional value to thread or if you have any specific questions on our services.

Cheers
Dooby

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
