Can you bring a bike on a plane?
Of course you can. Taking a bike on a plane is easy with Qatar Airways, as long as it fits within the guidelines and dimensions of your checked baggage allowance. And if it’s not quite enough for all your cycling gear, you can easily purchase additional sporting equipment allowance.
