I believe that the rule on major airlines is $80 for oversize baggage plus $80 for over weight baggage and this only gets you one way. I have had to pay that in full, half of that, and none of that. I think it depends on the mood/personality/experience of the person working at the front desk on a given day. In many cases it would be cheaper to just get the tuba a seat on the plane and take it in the gig bag.
