kate, what are your plans so far? i just got a box for my bike an hour ago. if i can bring it as part of our luggage allowance, i'll have it...but i'm not sure i want to pay for it as an extra piece.

I wanted to do the same in Nov, but after calling AA three times and getting three different answers to bike rules, I chose to rent instead. AA said the destination was what determined the policy. Don't know why. But never felt comfortable enough to wing it.

i'm still hoping to bring my old mountain bike. according to AA they will charge $80 to get it there. i'm planning on leaving it so as long as i can get it as my second piece of luggage, i'll be ok. i went to my local bike shop and got a box from a bike they had just received. hope it makes it...if not, it's not a great loss and i'd look into buying a bike on bonaire.

Ok, I'm going to try to wing it. The bike bag isn't "hard-side", so it just looks like a big bag. I don't start my journey with AA, so I'm hoping to sneak it into the system as my second piece of luggage, starting on Nantucket with Cape Air. The beauty of Cape Air is that I can check all my bags with them right here (they apparently have an agreement with AA) and I don't see them again until Bonaire. Wish me luck! PS- that bike bag is currently on sale at www.nashbar.com for $34.99.

PPS- I opened up that bike bag and took a better look....it's HUGE. Nothing says subtle like a 4'X 3' black bag with 6" gussets. Oh well, if I have to pay the $80, so be it.

kate, are you going to leave the bike there or bring it back? my plan is to leave mine (assuming i get it there to begin with). i'll either lock up the whole thing or at least lock up the wheels and leave the frame up on a shelf in the closet.

Pat, let us know what the final cost of getting the bike to Bonaire is...maybe you will have to make it "Art" like Susan's beach chair...lol
