Im going on vacation to florida on the 13th and i wanted to take my bike with me...
delta charges $175 each way...
WTF
my bike doesnt weigh 50 pounds...
i can put it in a carying bag and it would weigh between 27-30 pounds.
So wtf why is delta fucking us bikers over....
im extremely pissed right now... FUCK DELTA and all the airlines

Just take your bike apart and bag it like regular luggage. Would they still try to charge you?

Edited Date/Time:
this is a good idea by motofreak2772, if u dont say there is a bike inside they wont charge you, they dont actually scan the bag until till just b4 it goes on plane and that is customs not airline so you get away with it scott free. airlines are fuck heads when it comes to fees. they charge us BMXers but not freaking golfers and shit for their crap.
good luck wit it man

I dont think they charge bikers either. as long as its in your bag and its not illegal it becomes regular luggage but if you bring it on as a bike they will charge you.

Just take your bike apart and put it in a suitcase or something and say......."I just got some bike parts in there." They think it's not a whole bike so they can't do shit.
