destinations are no charge. They are one of your two allowed
pieces of luggage. Domestic destinations, at least within
the US, can cost you more for your bike than for your seat
on the plane. Every airline gouges bicyclists (and other
people with largish sporting equipment, BTW- not just
bicycles). -

Lots more rich people golf than ride bikes, including
airline board members and executives. -

how much other luggage you have. On transatlantic flights
with the better companies you can usually have two pieces
checked in and if one is a bike box it is free. But I don´t
know if that goes for the cheapies, Ryan air etc.We have flown often with bikes, and have sometimes paid,
recently we paid some 80USD for each bike out to Mallorca
and home. Have also paid 100USD each way to Delhi with SAS,
had them for free on Swiss to Bangkok, etc. If they have a
fixed charge it is quite ok. The worst is when they want to
charge you the over weight price, think it is 1 percent of
the 1 class price per kilo, or something similar.
