He charges them $300.
Sounds like United @$150, but I think $150 is the price at others too.

It works sometimes but a PIA.
Puppy traveled with 2 bikes in one case and paid for one.
I would argue on this basis:
https://www.united.com/web/en-US/con....aspx#Bicycles
A bicycle is free
"62 (158 cm) total linear inches (L + W + H), there is no bicycle service charge" but for the size. As this is oversized, it gets the bike price for $150 vs the over-sized price of $200.
I believe someplace they say you can't combine charges. So Not $200 for overweight + $200 for oversize.
The below refund was for vague Military wording. Military is free of service charges, then they charged for bikes.
