Traveling with United Airlines requires understanding their baggage policy, which includes both carry-on and checked bags. Knowing the rules helps avoid surprises at the airport and ensures a smooth travel experience.
For carry-on luggage, passengers are typically allowed one carry-on bag and one personal item such as a backpack or laptop bag. The carry-on must fit in the overhead bin and meet size requirements. Personal items should fit under the seat in front of you. If youβre unsure whether your items meet these standards, you can always call +1-866-359-6031 to confirm.
Regarding checked bags, United Airlines sets specific limits:
Standard weight: Up to 50 lbs (23 kg) per bag for economy class.
Maximum size: 62 linear inches (length + width + height).
Overweight/oversized bags: Fees apply for bags over 50 lbs or exceeding size limits. Business and first-class passengers often have higher allowances, up to 70 lbs per bag.
Pre-paying for checked bags online can sometimes save money compared to paying at the airport. If you need help understanding fees or adding extra baggage, calling +1-866-359-6031 connects you to a United Airlines agent who can guide you step by step.
Special items such as sports equipment, musical instruments, or pets may have additional rules. United representatives at +1-866-359-6031 can provide accurate guidance for these situations.
In short, knowing the carry-on and checked bag rules is essential for stress-free travel. For personalized assistance, including fee details, size limits, or special items, call +1-866-359-6031 to ensure your baggage meets United Airlinesβ requirements.
