Some SWA agents must be sustaining a myth about a $50 charge for a "bicycle," as I have had an agent say so once. I said, "no, it is within the limits and I fly with it all the time on your airline." The manager came over, they looked up the rule, and I was good to go. Maybe like in college "if my professor is 15 minutes late we can leave," which is a widely-held myth among undergraduates but totally untrue.
Sometimes I have been asked and they have me sign a waiver. That's fine. I have thought to respond "exercise equipment" or "push chair" but I usually say bicycle because I know I am in the right in terms of policy. Totally +1 for Skycap. Last vestige of the old way to fly before security lines, and TOTALLY worth the few bucks tip. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
