don't take an expensive pushchair to the airport!!!! They'll ruin it on you, happened to us, had to take our 6 wk old son to a hospital appointment that required us to catch a plane there as it was far away and we wanted home the same day, and the pram was mangled. If I ever had to do it again, I would buy the cheapest lie flat pushchair I could find to use, at least they wouldn't be ruining a ??600 bugaboo or buzz. They did refund us but that took another 6 weeks
