I want to bring my bike on a family trip, and unfortunately we are flying JetBlue. Their website says:
“ Bikes, surfboards, and kiteboarding and windsurfing equipment will be accepted on domestic and international flights and count as a checked bag. They're subject to a per-item fee of $100 each way, in addition to any checked bag fee associated with the fare purchased.”
That sounds like $300 to me.
I have two options:
1. Evoc Road Bike Bag Pro — this thing is awesome and has worked great as a single checked bag with Delta. It is well beyond the stated size limits for JetBlue.
2. Armored Hen House — I still have this old setup. I wonder if I can use it and deny the bicycle designation and premium (is it a bike if it is split between two bags?).
Anybody dealt with this airline that hasn’t evolved with the times, like American and Delta?
