in case some day some agent decides that a bicycle in two bags is still a bicycle subject to a fee, as unlikely as I think this is.[/quote]------------------------------------
this happened to me by a delta check-in woman last year. her reasoning was faulty, but she went ahead and undid my prepaid baggage tickets, to charge me for a bike, when both of my bags were under the standard size. then her computer wouldn't do the deed, she stalled, her co-workers looked on with looks that said she was doing the wrong thing. i asked for a print-out of the bike policy, and then she disappeared to get that------and my two hours of pre-boarding time was dwindling down to nothing. a co-worker finally said he'd run the print-out up to the gate and meet me there.
so-----i was unable to even approach justice due to her managing to run out the clock. it was a really, really sour experience.
