Washington DC or Washington state?
How you are making the trip may dictate the most cost-effective way of shipping the bike. You have a number of options.
I'm coming from Washington State. I'm flying Alaska Airlines. I ready some other threads and saw that REI might pack and ship a bike to one of there stores for you. Does anyone know if that's true? If not I'll just call the store Monday to find out.
Why do you care what airlines charge on average? You only need to worry about the airline you are flying.
From the Alaska Airlines Domestic Contract of Carriage:
Bicycles: One item of bicycling equipment is defined as one bicycle, non-motorized, with single or tandem seats. AS will only accept bicycles with handlebars turned sideways, pedals removed, all sharp protrusions padded, and boxed (or in a container), for a charge of USD 50.00
