MUC-ORD is on LH in Y.
ORD-ALB is on UA in Y.
Three calls to UA have provided three different answers regarding the charge for traveling with a bicycle:
CSR1: No charge since trip is international; however, agent failed to send promised email stating policy.
CSR2: Outbound: $100 for domestic leg BTV-IAD; no charge for IAD-MUC.
Return: call LH.
CSR3: $127 each way.
Does UA have a real policy or does one just hope to get lucky?
If oyu have it in a case then it is a toss of a coin as a 1K.
There no distinction between the domestic part and int part of your routing - yes international makes it easier.
USD 100 or 125 depending on when oyu bought ticket -- very silly - each way
