Southwest Airlines accepts bicycles, defined as non-motorized and having a single seat, as checked baggage. All bikes must be properly packed in a bicycle box or hardsided case. Pedals and handlebars must be removed and packaged in protective materials so as not to be damaged by or cause damage to other Baggage. Bicycles packaged in cardboard or softsided cases will be transported as subject to limited release items.
