No. It would not be cheaper. I once priced a shipment using FedEx's on line calculator. My guess is that it works like this: It's a discount broker for (now) UPS bike shipping. It markets shipping to a target audience (many of which would be stuck with crazy expensive airline charges), thereby brining in more business to UPS. No marketing effort or expense on the part of UPS. In return, UPS offers lower rates and Bikeflights get a cut.
