What will the excess baggage fee be though for having a large bag (bike bag)? They may just be replacing one fee with another!My experience mainly is with a scicon aerocomfort bag, which is on the larger side for a bike bag. If its under 50 pounds there are no additional fees. I have never had the size questioned only the weight. I have always paid the standard bike fee which has been anywhere from $0 to $150.
I'm flying American on Friday with my gravel bike in an Evoc bag. I'll report back if I have any issues, but I expect it to be accepted with no additional charges.
