This was in March of 2019. As I recall, when I plunked the packed-up bike onto the airline scale (that's it on the scale in the photo above) the woman initially mentioned a much higher price when I admitted that it was a bike--$150, I think. I had expected as much. But then she looked at her rate sheet or something and said, in a surprised voice, "Whoa! I guess it's only going to be $75."
You can believe that I did not demand an explanation. I just said, okay, that sounds good to me. Not sure what the situation is now--that's the one time I flew with a bike.
