Has anyone had to pay oversize baggage fees when using it as check-in baggage ?

Have only taken this on a flight with delta. They are very particular with their bags. However this went in as regular carry on with no oversize bag fees. All you have to do is meet the weight requirement and try to condense it as much as possble.

No-- I just made sure it was under 50 lbs or whatever the weight limit was...

only if weight is over 50 pounds, which it certainly could be, if clothes are packed solid. I think that was JetBlue, not sure of other airlines. we had two of them so distributed evenly once we saw the weight of one. the issue was weight not size. its all about the cost of jet flue which is consumed by weight in aircraft

I have checked it on United Airlines and Turkish Airlines and have not been charged extra.

No, as long as it is under the weight limits, my airlines haven't cared. I took 4 of these on 3 different airlines, and it was fine.

I used the bag on a trip from Japan to US to Mexico. It was checked through from Japan to Guadalajara with no problems. I had to pay for the extra suitcases, but no oversize fees. It was full of long, but not bulky or heavy items and wasn't stuffed to capacity, though.

We only baggage checked. You can call the airline and ask, giving them the dimensions. Even with checking we were hassled a bit. Nothing extra allowed inside, they checked.

I haven't tried it, but the manufacturers website indicated it meets TSA reqs for checked luggage.

I have gate checked multiple large strollers and have not had any issues. TSA looks at me funny when I tell them its just the stroller bag but it has always gone through.

It would have to be checked under the plane as oversized baggage. You'd be better off having Amazon ship it to you final destination.

I thought that carry on bags have to fit in the rectangular form they have on display near the check in area. The rectangular form is the size of most small, upright pull bags. This bag is definitely way too long. I know everyone else is saying yes, but I would check with the individual airline.

Did u try it as carry on? I want to carry my All IN One 22.5 " as carry on, hope it doesn't get rejected as the baggage size now is 22" limit, but the other 2 dimensions are very small, so i hope all goes well...

In my instance this bag checked normally twice in a row and on three different carriers. It's easy to overload it and exceed the weight restrictions and have to pay extra, so keep your eye on the scale unless you don't care about the overweight bag fees.

We always gate-check it (pink tag) without any issues. We never tried checking it at the counter but I wouldn't be surprised if it is considered oversized baggage.

I have but we had a hard time getting to down the aisle....its a pain in the butt becuase its so big. For around the airport I put it on a folding luggage rack, but it was too wide for the plane aisle my husband and the flight attendant had to lift it over the seats, but it technically does fit the airplane seat.

I dont know the exact dimensions but it should be fine with checked-in baggage as per size. As to the weight though, you might have to double check with the airlines/countries as they post different weight limits/excess fees. The estimated shipping size & weight of this item can be found on the website details, might have to scroll down to technical/shipping size/weight. Hope this helps.

I have....via multiple airlines and it depends on the airline, but you're curely going to have some sort of extra charge. Some will have a specific bike box charge....others may charge for being oversized based on dimensions, not weight. Best I can say is to read through the Baggage section of the airline's website. Some airlines are pretty ridiculous and make paying $50 more for a ticket on a different flight the better deal when they're charging $200 for a bike box.

It all depends on the Airlines, below is a link (Or google: "pelican case + airline checked baggage limitations" ) if Amazon drops the provided link.The short answer is, this appears to be classified as "Over Size".Coreyhttp://www.pelican.com/airline_allowance_large.php

Your best bet would be to take it out of the box and put into your checked bag, then split clothes and other things between checked bag and your carry on.

Many airlines, and particularly Southwest which is my usual carrier, use a limit of 62 inches for checked luggage. That's length + width + height. This bike is 70" on that basis before you put it into a weatherproof hard case, which is required for a bike like this as cardboard often won't survive airline handling. Southwest will accept up to 80" as "oversize", and this bike in a travel case could fit that limit, but that flies with a $75 surcharge. Paying $75 a trip to take along a $270 bike may not make sense. Better to buy something that folds smaller so it travels free.

I have not flown with this bag but I have used it for several months. I got the smaller of the two bags and it is huge. When filled to its capacity I have to believe it would be oversized. It is a large bag.

The inside is as Joyce says it is. I do like it, but I have had people at the airports look at it and want it to be placed in the carry on baggage check. I'm not sure if it's because it's red with the grey stripe in the center, and it appears larger than say a black bag with the same dimensions. I have got it stuck in the baggage check and had trouble getting it out by using that extra zipper width.
