travelling with bike with weight restriction

Guess this is best place to post 
I have travelled few times abroad with cheapsoft bag and been lucky with no damage. Last trip my mates pinarello frame was damaged and cost £2500 and airlines only covered £900 max, so as I amoff tophilippines training and racing for three weeks and have two flights and restriction of 31kg total I decided to look at possibilites.
Most travel boxes weigh between 12kg and 20kg so decided against this.
So off to WIckes and bought two rolls of gaffer tape and four slabs of jabolite and a knife!!
Taped two slabs together ,twice to make two halves of case, then marked out frame, bars and compartments for pedals, skewers cna chain.
Lots of little white balls flying round in garden so decided to line the polystyrene with gaffer tape.
Stuckit all together with bike, put in soft bag, weight in total 17kg result!! means I can now take some clothes
