& I've had a google round but... I'm confused!

I understand I need to deflate the tyres, but what about the shocks? Do I need to deflate them?

Do I need to ensure the bikes are spotlessly clean?

I've got a couple of bike bags to put them in, so any packing dos/donts?

Thanks as always!

No, no and no

It's wise to drop the pressure out of the tyres though as they may insist

the difference between sea-level and 36,000ft is only 10psi, I would just be leaving everything where it is
