Delta accepts bicycles as checked baggage on its flights.
GOOD NEWS! - Bikes will no longer be charged the $150 special handling fee, and will be treated as a piece of regular luggage. Standard checked baggage fees may still apply. [AMZ asins='B00JEILGMK,B00FRG7Q7W,B018FF6EV0,B00FNSS6QY']
Standard baggage allowance and fees based on cabin and travel region apply. Bicycles weighing over 50 lbs. will be charged the applicable excess weight fee.
Delta defines a bicycle as a non-motorized touring or racing bicycle with a single seat. Bicycles are allowed as checked baggage on most flights with the exception of some Delta Connection® carriers and other aircraft that may have different limits due to cargo constraints.
A bicycle box may exceed the standard baggage dimension limits, but must not exceed total linear dimensions of 115 linear inches (292 cm). No oversized fee will be charged. However, standard excess baggage fees will apply if this is an extra piece of baggage, and any applicable overweight fees will also be charged.
Bicycles over 50 lbs will be charged the applicable excess weight fee. Bicycles over 100 lbs will not be accepted.
Packing your Bike on Delta Flights
Your bike must be packaged in a container (cardboard, canvas, hard shell, etc.) in one of the following ways:
handlebars fixed sideways and pedals removed
handlebars and pedals encased in plastic, Styrofoam or other similar material
