I will soon be travelling from Venice (Italy) to Seoul (South Korea). I plan to bring a bicycle with me. My first option is to travel via Turkish Airlines, which carries bikes with reservation required. How can I make such a reservation? And should the weight of the bike be included in the baggage budget I have? Thanks!

they replied to my call and to my message on Facebook. Apparently you need to a) buy a ticket, b) let them know your plans, c) arrive in the airport with a bike and pay 90 euros. Easy

Most airlines require you now to bag or box your bike, very few just allow you to remove the pedals, deflate tyres and turn the handle bars around. You will need to check with the airline that you intend to use well before booking as if you turn up with an un-bagged bike the airline may refuse to handle it!.
