They gave a pretty poor reply, so I wrote back.

I checked Southwest's policies on bikes, and your boxed bike still has to fit within the standard 62" dimension requirement (length + width + height). I usually can't get my bike to pack down this small into a bike box, but I'm told that with a bike bag it can be done. So, thanks! Thanks Mike.

If they question, tell them it's "experimental". Is there a way to just tell them it’s ski equipment? If they question, tell them it’s “experimental”.
