Since TBT is gone, which airline is bike friendly?
I throw in couple of airlines that I know to start the conversation.
Delta: bike flies for the price of a normal bag. The weight limit is actually 52 lbs or 25 kilo
SWA: You can not check in a hard case over 81 inches!
Bicycles over 100 pounds in weight and 81 inches in total dimensions cannot be checked as baggage and can only be shipped as Cargo if the Customer is a known Shipper.
United: Per STers is not enforced. In their disclosure $200 extra per bag 63 to 115 linear inches (160 to 292 cm). Checked bag fees apply to all sports equipment unless otherwise noted. Oversized, overweight and extra items will be subject to additional fees unless otherwise noted.
