I haven't traveled with a boxed bike but have heard stories of bike parts

Most airlines have written policies on luggage size and weight - check
their website . The other posters are correct, there's no reason to state
that it's a bike. I've had varying luck (Dahon Speed TR) with sizing
surcharges but the weight has always been strictly enforced. 51 lbs = $.
