United to Charge Non-Frequent Fliers $25 to Check SECOND
Suitcase. United is announcing a new checked bag policy for customers
who purchase nonrefundable domestic economy tickets. Customers purchasing
nonrefundable domestic economy tickets that do not have status in Mileage Plus

fee. Customers who have attained Premier status or higher in Mileage Plus or
who have Silver status and above with a Star Alliance partner, are exempt from
this policy change. The new policy applies to tickets purchased on or after
February 4, 2008, for travel on or after May 5, 2008. Please view the Domestic
Baggage Questions for additional details on this policy. All customers traveling on United may check at least one
