International / Help! I want to go to Europe.

« on: March 12, 2013, 01:46:18 pm »

I’m hoping to tour in Europe, first trip, this spring using my LHT with front and rear racks and fenders, gear for camping, and flying from Chicago to Dublin. I have routes planned and I'm ready to go.

However, I just got off the phone with Aer Lingus and I was told the W+L+H be no more than 63 inches. That seems awful small.  No exceptions for the bike.

Is this trip possible with my bike and gear and flying or should I take a slow boat, buy, rent? Need some advice and any information?

Thanks for any help.

I’m kind of new to bicycle touring and I take to many cloths? How much and what type of cloths do other cyclist take?
I am leaving June from Illinois to the Portland - Seattle areas using the Katy Trail, connector route, TA, L&C, and PC route.

Thanks
