I used a bike box last week but all my mets used proper bike bags.
Theirs all arrived ok,
On the way there my box got damaged, it’s really easy to damage them by the handle holes, I had to ditch the box and get a new one from a bike shop in Chamonix for the return jourmney, I wouldn’t use a bike box again.
My tips if you do.
Try and find a bigger than average box so you don’t have to take the forks off
Reinforce the handle holes and all the corners with gaffer tape
Take at least two spare rolls of gaffer tape in your hand luggage just in case you have to open, or repair it at the airport, same on the way back.
Try and handle it yourself as much as you can yourself before you give it to the handlers, as my mates damaged mine trying to help.
Get a trolley at the airport, free at he’s throw, you need a two franc or two euro coin.
Stack the bike upright not across on the trolley, might be harder to look over but you can get through the gaps.
I used my armpur to reinforce the corners and also my shoes.
Might be best and easier to pack it upside down so seat post and bars are at the bottom
Good luck
