there are dozens of YouTube videos showing how to pack a bicycle for plane flights. Go to the hardware store and get foam pipe insulation to protect the tubes of your bike frame, particularly if you have a carbon-fiber frame.

OP, if you are travelling with CO2 cartridges in your bike case, you are taking serious chances that your bike (and you) will be pulled off the flight. CO2 cartridges are not allowed in checked bags or carry-ons.
