Re: Bikes on Alaska Airlines

I just went to Colorado to race Mt Evans - both United and Delta charged $175 each way per bike. It cost us (my husband and I) $700 to fly our bikes, and my husband only rode one day. It was more expensive than the cost of our flights! We had no idea. My suggestion - UPS your bike! We will drive next year to Mt Evans. It took us 12 hours to get home because one of our flights was canceled - would have taken 6 more hours just to drive and saved $1,500:) Good luck with your trip, Jenny

I am planning a trip to the East Coast and was wondering if anyone knows the cost of checking a hardcase bike box on Alaska. Has anyone done this lately? Bike and box should be under 49 pounds. Is there a cheaper or better way to get the bike there?

Thanks for any help and recommendations!
