My racing bike came back from Switzerland with some cracks in the paint. Since an airplane is a tube, I would think the luggage compartment would be pressurized, the whole fuselage pressurized. But I bet it’s not heated. It gets below -40 on that transatlantic flight, maybe that made the paint cracks?

Kenny asked:


I have alot of LV luggage and none of it classifies as carry on so it would have to go in the luggage compartment. But first off, I want to make sure that it is handled with care and secondly I want to make sure that no one but myself has access to it because I wouldn’t want someone to leave the airport with my luggage. I’ve never traveled with designer luggage before. Anyone?
