United’s Checked Baggage Policy Verses Southwest
Ok Here’s United’s policy.
United charges each passenger $15 for the first checked bag and $25 for the second when using United.com. Other check-ins require an additional $5/bag. Oversize bags (beyond 50 lbs.) incur a fee of $175, and overweight bags are assessed $125. The schedule of charges and conditions is complicated, so read carefully. All the fees you see on the United page linked here apply to one-way travel, so double them for a round trip. Also note United’s advance check-in requirements, which vary by airport. United’s fee for a second checked bag on international flights is $50 ($45 if paid online). United has also rolled out a “Premier Baggage Fee” of $249 that allows free first- and second-checked bags for one year.
Ok Here’s Southwest’s policy.
First two bags free.
