I have owned an S&S coupled All-Rounder for 10 years. Even meeting the 62" limit it has been hit or miss with the ever changing airline policies, but it most often has flown for free. Of late I have used curbside bagage check with a hefty tip visible in my hand. No questions asked about the weight or size. :-)
It is also a very easy way to fit the bike into the trunk of a car. Between travels it serves as my commuter.
