1K here who travels somewhat frequently with bicycle(s), both internationally (J and F) and domestic. The
only station where I've had the fee waived is F check-in at NRT. Be prepared to bust out the CC at check-in and pay the fee.
An upshot is once you've paid the fee, there is pretty much no limit on the size of carrying case you can bring. I use a hard shell now but they'll take a large carrying case with proper protection for fork, frame and wheels (there's a soft-sided but padded one from EVO out there, if you're not trying to break the bank). No need to squeeze it all in a box!
I hope to try checking in the track tandem this summer
ps I haven't tried to bring a tandem -- is there a policy?

Been there. Feel your pain. Check-in agent at first refused to bust out the tape measure. I kinda looked like a jerk when I insisted she measure. She had me at 63.5 (62 is the limit).
