Suggestion for Airfreight to/from US and Europe
Planning for a trip to Europe em 2011 (!) I came in contact with a German guy that provides air shipments to/from Orlando, FL - Frankfurt/Germany. He takes care of everything (customs clearing in the USA and Germany, airfreight through Lufthansa and also the mandatory "Green Card" from ADAC (the German "AAA")). He charges - all inclusive - U$1,400.00 from the US to Europe and about U$1,080.00 back. The only problem is that he does this only twice a year (November from Europe and April to Europe). And these prices apply only because he has a "consolidated" freight rate from Lufthansa (he ships 6 to 10 bikes at a time). As I am planning to go in September and returning on November, the cost for this roundtrip freight skyrockets. Anyway you could try a contact with this guy to see what can de done ( www.knopftours.com and his name is Stefan).
Regarding my trip, I am looking for bikers willing to tour Europe at the same time I am planning in order to form a group of 6 to 10 bikes so we can also benefit from a reasonable "consolidated" airfreight rate. Anyone interested please post a message here so we can start forming a group.
