Trico Bike

I am in Mexico and I plan to take my mountain bike with me on the plane during a trip to the United States. I want to know how much it will cost me, most airlines say there is no charge if it is checked, instead of a piece of luggage, but it must measure less than 62 linear inches ( W + H + L), and Delta said that even the habit of accepting a picece Baggage measuring more than 80 inches, measures 47x30x11 Trico, so that is 88 more than the maximum limit of Delta, can you Abu past experiences tell me to travel with your bicicle, are the airlines make you pay additional fees, you have been refused service by Delta?

I've always been struck with a charge of $ 80 when transporting my bike rides Charity. They do not care that it is a charity race. : - (
But I have never refused service.

It can not hurt to call the airline.

Delta has not been so bad before. I would like to see on their website that the decision is official, since the airlines change their official position too many times and no ticket clerk is always familiar with the updated rules.


If I international flights, United Airlines, I use do not know today but they have in the past, waived the charge for the bike box.

All airlines have been doing that his bulky luggage, though. they just differ on how they will charge.

Almost all companies charge exorbitant fees to transport a bike on a plane, while simultaneously allowing other oversized items like skis, photographic and art supplies to go FREE!

It's completely stupid, and in my opinion should be illegal. It seems that the airlines have forgotten that they would not exist if it were not for the two bike mechanics named Orville and Wilbur Wright.
