Transporting my uni in airplanes

Any suggestions on packing up my unicycle to fly? I’m headed to the Chicago
Blues festival and want to take along my Torker. Thanks for any tips.

packing

I took my kh24 from poland to portugal and back to poland from portugal. I just bougth the bag that was big enough to put the weel inside without the air (I did’t took of the tyre) and put my things around and that’s it. of course unicycle was dismounted. thats it no problem :slight_smile:

When I travel on the train I use a a bike bag and wrap it around.

I have adapted a bodyboard bag that fits perfectly my 20".
I just take out the pedals.
I added strong band and a label that states “circus apparatus”
(though that’s a lie: I am unable to perform circus tricks)
no problem.

This has been covered several times, here, so some searching should find you lots of detailed suggestions. Also I have written a detailed article on how I pack my unicycles (usually 3 of them) for flights, which will be in the upcoming issue of On One Wheel from the Unicycling Society of America.

In short, your best bet is to put it in some luggage so it doesn’t look like a unicycle. Plus you can pad it to protect it, and put other stuff in there. Remember, the airlines have recently changed their weight limits. Most American carriers have a 50 lb limit per bag.
