Reward Ticket Baggage policy for tickets booked for family by premier gold
« on: August 18, 2012, 08:18:30 PM »
I am United Premier Gold and *A Gold. I have allowance for 3 bags without fee. I have booked a reward ticket for my mother using United miles. travelling on Lufthansa and connecting on United arriving to USA as final destination.

My mother doesnt have any status. However on United booking it shows my United number as miles has come out of my account. will she be allowed 3 bags, when she checks in with Lufthansa as her first leg of journey or it will be standard 1 bag allowance? if she will be allowed 3, does she have to acrry proof of my status at airport?

YMMV.
On UA metal she would get 3, on partners it's YMMV.

Anyone can try to show Lufthansa the printout of the itinerary showing the *G status, but they're only officially required to honor it if the passenger has the actual status card with his/her name on it. On United operated flights, they're not stringent on this and its in the system, so it automatically will come up as eligible for the *G benefits

Of course not. How do you plan on booking a cash ticket "on his account", anyway?
