My family is going on vacation in Mexico in a few days. The American airlines web site says that if I can fit my bike in a 62-inch box, I can take it on the plane, if not it's $80. But when I call them, they say it's a $50 charge no matter what. Huh? What's going on here?
If I can't fit it in a 62-inch box, does anybody recommend mislabeling it as "sporting goods" or something in order to avoid a surcharge?
