So how does that work? Mrs. Grouch and I flew from Seattle to St Louis via Alaska Air. We tried to check in at the Alaska Air counter, were directed to go to American, and eventually flew on an American Air Lines plane. My question is: Whose baggage rules apply?

Our new tandem is a take-apart but we haven't ordered the $800.00 bag for it yet. I could picture us taking our bike to Seattle some time, visiting a few days with our daughter and grand kids, and touring the San Juan Islands.
