Hi Guys!
How do you travel with your unicycles? Especially 26 inch.
I have 24 inch Qu-Ax Luxus converted to MUni and it fits my bag perfectly.
Here are some pictures:
I am planning on buying proper 26 inch MUni and was wondering how do you travel with yours 
A bigger bag:

Details in the captions. Weight limits for flights within Europe may be lower, so check with your airline.
Thank You… My bag is hardshell and it is a bit heavy. I like the idea with bigger but lighter bag!
Some european airlines have limit of 15kg and every kg over that is 20 euro extra charge 
That’s crazy. Hopefully you have the option of choosing a different airline…
Just put one of these on it and tell them it’s a guitar. They always let people bring guitars on.
That made me laugh out loud.
I can picture someone boarding the plane, trying to convince an attendant that it’s truly a guitar.
“Ma’am, I’m telling you this really is a guitar.” plucks ‘Stairway to Heaven’ on the wheel spokes
Good one!!!
But i don’t think the low cost airline would go for it. They charge even more for “large” sport equipment and music instruments… but i might try it some day 
I think the same airline Ryanair has an option to go 20 or 15 + 15 but you have to pay a bit more. You are allowed to have 10kg of hand luggage.

Medard, you have some good reads here:
I haven’t tried Ryanair yet, so let me know how is it going if you try. Uni usually is bulky and in strange shape, but my uni luggage was usually quite light.
I was flying with Lufthansa and Eurolot and nobody cared that it is oversize (even for checked-in luggage) as long as it was in the weight limit.
I’ve never had a problem travelling with my uni but the treatment of your baggage differs per airline.
I’ve taken my 20" trials uni as carry-on on a budget carrier once. Everyone looked stressed but they didn’t stop me.
On Air Canada, I didn’t have a bag for my 29" muni so I put it in a large garbage bag and taped a ‘Fragile sticker’ on it. Worked fine.
At the last Unicon in Italy, I packed a 24" and a 29" uni in a wheel bag with my (limited) clothes and toiletries in a shoe bag between the wheels. All checked in under 15kg as regular luggage.
Here are my experiences:
(29" wheel in a separate bag), frame and seat in the big backpack. Someone told me to declare that’s a circus prop and not a bike (to avoid paying extra charges…)
-ALITALIA (some times): no charges
-LUFTHANSA (2 times): no charges
-CHINA EASTERN AIRLINES (4 times): 3 times no charges (even if I passed the maximum kg amount permitted), once I’ve paid 30 euros…
-TURKISH AIRLINES (2 times): (even if I passed the maximum kg amount permitted)
Twice, after Xray inpections, they asked me to open the bag and show them what was inside…
Once the seat-seatpost was misdiagnosed: from the Xray they thought it was a hammer…
