Hello all,

Searched around but couldn't find this specific discussion. Can anyone comment on their experience checking a stroller on either/both airlines?

I'm flying TATL next week on US Airways and returning on United. I'm *G and we're in business both ways. We're thinking of bringing a full-sized Bugaboo instead of the McLaren for our four-month old. Given tight connections I'd rather luggage check (not gate check) the stroller and just Bjorn her through the airports.

I can fit the stroller into a large duffle bag, but it exceeds the max. 62 inches. I called both airlines: US Air said it's no problem since the stroller doesn't have a size restriction, and United said there would be a $200 oversize charge. Neither agent sounded like they really knew what they were talking about.

Can anyone provide feedback on luggage checking large strollers on US Airways and United? Thanks!
