Fortunately I had the option of flying Calgary to Vancouver, and Vancouver to LA, so because both flights started in Canada, they remained under Air Canada's fee system, and I only paid $50 for my bicycle.
So ... anywhere between $50 (although I'm not sure any US airlines charge that little) and $175 is probably a good guess. When you booked your ticket, it should have told you ... or you could look it up.
I actually haven't book my ticket there yet. I'm going through United for some of according to the ticket I'm looking at buying. YIKES. So I'm thinking I should sell my bike.
Now for another question (sorry for being annoying guys, its what I do best)... whats the best/fastest way to sell a bike??
Edit: I just phoned United and they said they don't charge you if you start with another airline. They said they only charge you the initial rate from the first airline. Machka, was this not the case for you? I don't know how much I trust the lady I was talking to hah
