How can I confirm one way or the other? That will be a major factor in deciding which flight to take.
I made a mistake back then by booking via NH.. Due to infant costs..
Use the United callback #. They are pretty good.
"Checked baggage allowance for children
The standard checked baggage allowance applies to children with purchased tickets, including infants traveling internationally on 10 percent of an adult fare. If a child’s baggage allowance is exceeded, the excess will become part of the fare-paying adult's baggage allowance. All standard checked baggage restrictions and service charges apply."
basically you do get 1 bag
