That's why you should fly Alaska whenever possible. 50 bucks, and if it's in a small enough case, $15 if you're not checking anything else. I think Southwest is still pretty good too.

Quoting Jennifer Slawta :
> 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
