As we continue to make investments that make travel on United better, we are making adjustments to our checked bag fees in select markets – most of which have not been changed in eight years. These changes allow us to continue investing in the overall customer experience in today’s marketplace. 

For tickets issued on/after August 31, we’re increasing first and second checked bag fees on Caribbean, Central and North America United and United Express-operated flights. Tickets that are voluuntarily reissued on/after August 31 will also be subject to the new bag fees.

Complimentary first and/or second checked bags will still apply to:
  • MileagePlus Premier members and their eligible companions
  • Primary cardmembers and companion(s) who purchase tickets using an eligible MileagePlus credit card
Our systems, including the baggage calculator on united.com, have been updated to reflect new pricing. For more details, please visit united.com or use the baggage calculator below.
