Hinta- ja käytäntöeroja tuntuu olevan niin lentoyhtiöiden välillä, mutta myös virkailijoiden välillä.
Tässä esim. pyöräilymaanakin tunnetun Hollannin lentoyhtiön KLM:n käytännöstä polkupyörille:
"You can take your bicycle or tandem with you in suitable packaging or a bike box. The handlebars should be turned lengthways along the frame, pedals and other protruding parts should be removed, and tyre pressures should be reduced. Special KLM bike boxes are available at Amsterdam Schiphol Airport for EUR 20 each (170 x 23 x 100 cm – 66.5 x 9 x 39 inches). The KLM bike box weighs 3.5 kg (7.7 lbs). On small aircraft types it may not be possible to bring a tandem.
Always make a reservation for your special baggage at least 48 hours before departure, and ensure your reservation is confirmed. On small aircraft types it may not be possible to bring a tandem. A bike counts as a single piece of baggage. You only pay an excess baggage fee if you take your bicycle on top of your standard baggage allowance, and/or if it weighs more than 23 kg (50.5 lbs). For a tandem you will need to pay a special baggage fee."
20 euroa on edullisin hinta mitä on tullut vastaan.
