General Discussion / bike on UNITED airlines

« on: June 05, 2011, 02:35:38 am »

I don't know where exactly to find current information on this, so please help point me in the right direction.

After a recent cross-country ride went well, I'm going to go ride around Hawaii. 
But, I have no money.
I leave in a few weeks.
I've got a hard bike case for my bike.
I'm wondering
a) if you know of any touring-friendly shops in Kona, Hawaii where I could assemble my bike and stash the case while I tour
b) if you know about United's bike policy?  Is the only way to get my bike there to pay $100?  Is there some current loophole I don't know about/  Are coupons available?  Anything? PLEASE?  $100 each way is too much for me, unfortunately.
c) do you know of any current ways/promotions/coupons to check a bag for free? all of my gear is going to go into a big duffel bag that I'm also going to have to check each direction...

Thanks so much.  I don't know much about flying with bike (although I've read all the websites, most are out of date), so anything helps!

Just finished a trip, and am doing an asynchronous blog of it.  I think you may find it intriguing, and for those of you yet to travel, I daresay mildly inspiring?

When the trip is done being covered (which is done on a daily basis), I will begin highlighting other adventures--especially throughout ski and climbing season (aka year-round!)

You'll notice that I didn't do an ACA route...the website is a look into WHY.
