I asked the gate agent to measure it and call a Supervisor. Bottom line - Supervisor said... no charge. Pays to be firm with US Airlines. KLM from Amsterdam to Toulouse didn't bat an eye.

I took it on a plane to do a tour in New Mexico this past September. When I checked it in at the airline counter, the counter agent didn't bat an eye at it. Maybe she was distracted by my 30-lb overweight duffel bag...Anyway, you can see pictures at: http://madzia.net/2007/09/12/nm20070912/ I had Bilenky put S&S couplers on my new Surly Long Haul Trucker a little over a year ago.
