How many checked bags can I have free for united airlines?

Question

Its says 2 at the site but I dont know if my carry on counts

Answer 1

It depends on where you're flying, when you bought you ticket, what class you're flying, and your frequent flyer status. If you're flying within the US on an economy ticket it will cost you $15 to check the 1st bag - if you're flying Aug 18 or later and bought your ticket June 13 or later unless you meet one of the frequent flyer levels that waives this fee. (see: http://www.united.com/page/article/1,,52... You already had to pay $25 to check a 2nd bag if you're flying on an economy ticket bought February 4, 2008 or later.  

This doesn't include your carry on bag, but you can bet they will be strict about what people carry on (weight & size) since the checked bags are now a revenue source.

Answer 2

1 checked bag under 50 pounds. even a little bit heavier and theyll charge u. be careful. ur allowed only one carry on and 1 personal item like a purse or laptop. they are very strict these days!
