But remember you have many (at least me and your own circle of friends undoubtedly cheering you on) fans who want so very much for you to succeed. Go Kathryn!

It's becoming more common. I don't mean to be an smart-ass, but UA does have one of the worst extraordinary baggage policies of all the Airlines. Cyclists and triathletes need to start shopping for plane tickets smartly and with their wallets and NOT flying with the airlines like UA that have insane extraordinary baggage charges and/or discriminate against B-I-K-E 's.<br><br>My wife and I recently traveled to Ironman Hawaii. We use the Aerus Bio-Speed Soft bags. We went separately because she was going early. On Air Canada on the way to Hawaii my wife was charged $50 - the set AC bike fee. On Continental, I was charged nothing. They thought my Aerus Bag was just another slightly over-size suit case. When returning from Hawaii, on Continental, we paid $35/each for the bikes. Hard to get off the Island in the days after the race as 2,000 bikes are leaving Hawaii. Sorry to hear your story. It's becoming more common.

The airline used to issue and send out special bike vouchers to all USACycling members in the late 90s that we all would use. All the teams chose United first, to save the excess charges. I was even a 1k member after the 2000 season. A typical flight to a bigger race and the entire plane in Denver would be filled with all the cycling teams’ riders. Supposedly, these vouchers originally were pretty basic and a simple color photocopy would easily be counterfitable. Then they upgraded, using a code and an expiry date. United decided to stop issuing the voucher in about 2005 or so. Since then, the riders fly whatever the teams find deals on. Imagine the revenue United has lost each year with their short sightedness…<br><br>Gord Fraser You know what’s ironic is that United was THE airline all the team’s used to use since United has/had a desk at the USOC in Colorado Springs.
