UAL’s ‘Premier Baggage’

United Airlines is offering an introductory annual subscription rate of $249 for its new “Premier Baggage” program, which allows subscribers and up to eight traveling companions (traveling on the same confirmation number) to check up to two bags each at no additional charge on domestic and international United- and United Express-operated flights for a one-year period. (Flights operated by another airline and connecting onto a United or United Express flight are subject to the standard fees of the originating carrier.)

Oversized, overweight and/or excess baggage fees still may apply. You must be a Mileage Plus member to qualify.

Call Premier Baggage customer service (866/950-8707) or visit https://store.united.com/traveloptions. (United’s business- and first-class passengers are not charged fees for the first two checked bags.)
