Bicycles can be sent on most airlines, Each airline has different rules regarding the dimensions and weight of a bike being transported But the basic rules are as follows:
Pack it in a sealed box using plastic foam or similar protective material inside. The box should be a hard-sided case or constructed from durable cardboard.
Secure the handlebars sideways and remove the pedals before packing the bicycle. All loose items should be inside the box.
Motorized or battery-powered bicycles are not permitted.
We’re not liable for damage to any checked bicycles that are not packed as described above.
Oversized and overweight bag fees do apply to checked bicycles. Usually over 50 lbs up to 100 lbs. Over 115 linear inches.
A limited liability release form must be signed by the passenger in case the bike is not properly packed
If the bicycle is packaged in a hard shell case specifically designed for transporting bicycles, then a limited-release form is not required
If the bicycle is packaged in a soft-sided travel bag or anything other than a hard shell case, a limited-release form will need to be signed.
So if you have a favorite bike, purchased a travel container and bring it along!
Enjoy the Journey!
