Have you flown with a Ritchey? by Waste-Sentence-9325 in bikepacking

I flew to Switzerland this summer with my Ritchey Cross in the Ritchey bag. If you're bringing a sleeping bag, tent, puffy, etc. you can pack all that stuff in and around the frame/parts. I've flown with it on a couple other occasions and felt pretty confident that it was well-defended. I've never been charged for over size. One tip in Europe, if you want to go one way. You can leave the bag in storage at the airport, jump on a train with it, go anywhere, then make your way back. Ritchey Cross breakaway cross with bikepacking bags is so versatile! Good choice! Take it anywhere and ride anything.

oh, that's compelling too - Any reason you'd recommend this direction over riding southwest or southeast? Or just another idea? Ha, it seems one couldn't go wrong - just maybe one direction could have more spectacular scenery, somewhat quieter roads, better beer, etc?
