Answer 4

Starting aug 18 we will start chargin $15 for the first bag just like american and us airways already did. second bag is $25 and third bag is $100

Answer 5

It Depends, most Airlines will now add traveling fees to bags that weigh over 45 pounds. As the bag gets heavier, the airlines will charge more. The airline that i last flew with this rule was American and Continental but i would imagine that United would go by the same rules since all check in desks where you weigh your bags at the front look the same and they have signs that show the fees and non are individual for Airlines.
