I flew LAX - Paris in July 06 on Northwest, free bike check-in both ways. (at least in terms of accomodating bikes, you couldn't say they're Northworst).
I checked out fee for Air France for my next trip, the charge is 150 EUROS, each way, with the poor exchange rate that's almost 230 dollars. That's outrageous, esp. considering that my touring bike is 1993 Diamnondback MTB, probably worth about 100 bucks(?).
