How did you misread the OP so badly?
He's not taking issue with the charge. Indeed, nowhere does he mention the charge.
The issue is this: JetBlue's website says the airline will not accept a bike box that has a total dimension of over 80" (L+W+H), period. No way, no how. Not for any amount of money. The OP's box is 93". He's basically asking if anyone has any experience re: that rule being enforced.
