slightly off topic, but UA has gotten extremely strict about 50lb suitcase weight- beware!!!
Which airport?
The most hated part of airline travel. I had to pay $100 in EWR last week, even though another suitcase was underweight by the same amount this suitcase was overweight (no room in the other one to move the stuff around).
BE doesn't allow online check-in unless you prepurchase a checked bag.
put something in your hand luggage or just throw something out.
The workaround I've come up is book an economy ticket cancel it on united and get a travel certificate then rebook it as basic economy . . . Will hopefully work
At agent's discretion. Some stickle, some don't. But ime no agent will let you go over 52.5
Does mileage plus give free suitcase for basic economy? If yes can additional card also get free Suitcase?
i seen this multiple times at EWR and recently at other airports. they didnt allow 51lbs even with status... they are prob getting tougher on their agents just warning ppl to have a backup plan in mind (shopping bag for some heavy items)
That's the official policy, in practice you can cancel.
If traveling with a lap child and a toddler in basic economy, is there any chance they'll separate me from the toddler since I can't pick seats?
Can someone please answer this ASAP, flight is soon. Does it say anywhere on website I get a free carry on for all companions when booking a Basic Economy fare with Explorer card?
