United Rant
« on: January 09, 2019, 10:11:05 PM »
Currently I'm United Platinum through a status match.

Booked award tickets on United to Hawaii.  Return is Maui to Dulles connecting through Honolulu.  Flight Maui to Honolulu is on Hawaiian air. UAL to Dulles.

Free checked bags on the outbound to Hawaii on United via Platinum Status.

Return is also United ticketed flight but operating as Hawaiian Airlines so not following United bag platinum policy.  I need to pay Hawaiian Air $25 per bag at check in on return.

Hawaiian offers their frequent flier members a bag discount so just $15, but it's not applicable because it wasn't ticketed through Hawaiian Air.

I feel I should get free bags as I bought the ticket through United.  Or if it's a Hawaiian operation give me their frequent flier discount.

Thoughts?  This is why I don't fly legacy carriers.  United telling me they'll switch me to a United flight and then I can get free bags.  Silly.
