Airlines/Airline Industry Indifferent To Bike Travel

Greetings

There I used to be able to examine into my flight at O’Hare Airport

right here within the Windy Metropolis full with my backpack & bike when

the TSA agent gave me the information: “sorry, you may’t take your bike

with you…”

OH MY G_D WHAT THE H_LL AM I GOING TO DO NOW!!!

Nicely, I will simply need to lock it up out in entrance and hope it is nonetheless there

in per week or two, I believed.

TSA Agent – “When you lock it up ANYWHERE in/across the airport we’ll

minimize it off”

Me: “You imply there’s NO WHERE on this complete airport a traveler can

lock up a motorbike”

TSA Agent: “That is coverage, and it is the police who’ll take away it”

So,

they agreed to ebook me on a flight 24 hours later, no cost, so I may

return go away bike at residence all the best way on the Blue line practice how i got here.

Really the TSA agent was a extremely good man – sympathetic, pleading my

case to his superiors, however to no avail

O.Ok., I ought to’ve been extra ready – however the final time I took a motorbike with

me there have been, fortunately, spare cardboard containers mendacity round they gave me

to make use of.

I am now studying about “official” protecting circumstances that are too large & cumbersome to 

carry alongside/trip with, however I am sorry – the airways THEMSELVES must be offering

these apparatuses – they’ll definitely afford to. Further Baggage Charge to take action?

Hmm, effectively, I assume that’d be cheap.

Therefore, we’re free to trip DIRECTLY from the airport at our arrived vacation spot

in a minimalist & wise approach. 

Time to lift this ruckus!!
