I am traveling from Denver, CO to Portland, ME for a triathlon. I need to travel with my bike and have an Alan Bike Box (hard shell case). However, the combined dimensions of my bike box far exceed the limit of 80 inches that Southwest has. Southwest is the only airline that I cannot fly with this particular box. All other airlines have much more reasonable limits of 115 inches.
