The baggage policy of United Airlines is influenced by a number of variables, including fare class and route. Economy passengers can typically check one bag up to 50 pounds in weight and 62 inches in length, width, and height. While Business and First class passengers can check two bags weighing up to 70 pounds each, Premium Economy passengers can only check one bag with the same weight and size restrictions. All passengers are limited to a maximum of 9 inches in height, 14 inches in width, and 22 inches in length for carry-on luggage. Passengers in First, Business, and Premium Economy are also permitted to bring one personal item, such as a purse or laptop bag.
Depending on the weight, size, and fare class of the item, there may be additional charges for overweight and oversized baggage. Wheelchairs, sporting goods, and other specialized items can be transported, but only within certain size and weight parameters. To obtain precise information about the baggage policy for such items, travelers should speak with United Airlines in advance.
Unaccompanied minors are only permitted to bring one carry-on bag, one personal item, and a limited supply of food and drink on board.
Small pets are allowed on board United Airlines but they must adhere to certain size and type specifications. Passengers are advised to get in touch with United Airlines in advance to make sure the pet travel policy is followed.
Travelers should check United Airlines' official website or get in touch with their customer service for the most recent details on baggage and other travel policies because airline policies can change over time.
