Air Travel With Bike?!

cgarolr:
So, I am going to New Hampshire in June for a wedding and I am trying to decide the best way to get my bike there to use for the week.  Does I box it up and ship it via UPS for $100+ or can I box it up and check it for a minimal cost?

Does anyone have experience with this (particularly with Southwest)?

Darrinw2001:
I have heard some ship their bikes from a local LBS (like AJ's) to one in the area they are going for a lower commercial rate and have the receiving lbs assemble it. may cost a little less than shipping on your own.

if you need help on the shipping for ALOT less, let me know.

BillT:
Ship it ahead of time...checking it in at the airport is major hassle and a major strain on your wallet.

arriflex:
Def ship ahead of time. Any oversized checked items are not only a huge pain in the ass/pocketbook- but are also apt to be broken, stolen, parts borrowed by our friends in the TSA.
