OK I can sort of see how they can justify charging whatever they want for a regular full sized bicycle. But how on earth can they justify charging for a folding bike or bike with couplers. Just because it is a bike.
Some woman files with a large suitcase full of cosmetics, hair dryer and God knows what else and her bag goes at the normal price?? Makes no sense to me.
The airlines should charge by weight pure and simple. Weight of passenger plus luggage.
