Cost Paid at Start (US $): 
US$580
Comments: 

I flew with Thai Air. Cost = 1.37 US dollars per Kilogram VOLUMETRIC weight, which came out as 380 US dollars for my Yamaha Tenere. The bike must also be CRATED. The cost of crating (materials, construction and transport), plus the customs charges and the fee for the agent himself came to a total of 200 US dollars. Therefore the total cost was 580 US dollars.

My only complaint about the services of this agent was that the charge for crating etc turned out to be higher than the original estimate. Otherwise the agent was very efficient, the bike left on the same plane as I did (as promised). I took the bike to the crate-maker 1 week before the flight, for it to be measured, and I had to report to the airport the day before flying, to put the bike in the crate and get my carnet completed. This took about 1-2 hours, no problem, but BRING YOUR OWN RETAINING STRAPS OR ROPE to tie the bike down to the pallet! Happy travelling. Connor.
