Frontier Eliminates Bike Fees!

Frontier Airlines announced last week that they have eliminated their $50 checked bike fee for tickets purchased on or after April 13. Let's hope Southwest and others follow their lead.

Here's the excerpt from their announcement:

Bicycles:
Frontier is removing the flat fee for checked bicycles and will now include them in the standard baggage allowance, meaning customers traveling on Classis or Classic Plus fares can include their bike as one of their two complimentary checked bags and Economy passengers would pay $20 if the bike is one of their first two checked bags. Bikes will be exempt from any oversize fees, but subject to overweight fees and excess bag fees, if applicable. This is similar to the carrier's current policy for golf clubs and skis.
