United Airlines Baggage Help?

Anyone know the baggage policies for united airlines!?

  • Well let me start off by sayn that the government paid for mine & my sons ticket. (my husband is in the military) we are going to Hawaii. Does anyone know if the government paid for our baggage fees, if so how much can I take without getting charged? If not, what are the fees for each bag? And if I'm planning to take a laptop, can I just put it in a luggage or does it have to be a carry on? What do they considered oversized baggage?? Also can I take my sons carseat with me on the plane?? This is gna be my first time flying alone with my son and I am so nervous! So I would appreciate some help!!! Thank you :)

  • Answer:

    First, do not put the laptop in a checked bag. Carry that on as a personal item. Things as valuable as a laptop shouldn't go in a carry-on bag. United's baggage policies are here: http://www.united.com/page/article/0,6867,52481,00.html U.S. military personnel & dependents who areactive or traveling on leave in conjunction with a permanent change of station require their military ID. Under those circumstances, up to three checked bags are free. Military personnel & dependents get a larger allowance than most passengers. Baggage over 70 pounds (per bag) will be charged as overweight. If the length + width + height exceeds 115 inches, the bag is over-sized. http://www.united.com/page/article/0,6722,52649,00.html If the car seat is an FAA approved car seat, you can use it on the plane.

Go to the United web site. (google united & it comes up). It depends on the class of ticket you are flying. You pay for your luggage either at check in or when your ticket is purchased; so it depends if the Gov paid for it, if not you will have to. Currently is it $25 for the first checked bag for each passenger (if your son does not have a ticket, he does not get luggage-if he is on your lap; if he has a ticket he gets luggage, so 2 bags for 2 of you is $50). The car seat is checked like luggage. Your laptop should go in your carry on and must go through security separate all by itself. The dimensions are on the web; the weight per checked is 50# each bag.
