I think Virgin Blue have the best policy for bikes - they count a bike
as 5kg of your 20kg allowance. If the total dimensions are over 140cm it
is carried at their discretion whatever that means. Flights are still
available for about $320 return for the days either side of the ride. I
dont think they will last long. There is a bus service to the start at
Port Douglas.
