LowFare+ on Norwegian, travelling with bicycle
EDIT: Title should read LowFare+, not Flex+!
Trying to book a flight GOT-LGW for a month-or-so's time but tying myself up in knots over what is the 'right' price for my checked baggage, chiefly a road bike and sundries which usually weighs in at about 15kg including bag weight. Volume-wise as you'd expect it's on the large side, 140cm x 70cm x 15cm approximately.
I know DY charge extra for skis and golfing equipment, but when trying to book the ticket noticed a discrepancy. I had no option to select a bike, but DY's baggage rules suggest an extra 450SEK charge for carrying a bike PLUS limited space.
So, is this an error in the rules or would I be hit with the charge at the check-in desk?
All told, taking the extra charge into account, BA would be cheaper into LHR anyway (and I have previous experience flying this way)... and I don't trust STN with anything!
Return doesn't matter since it looks like I'm slumming it on Eurostar for an onward journey to Holland...
