Carry-on baggage
United Airlines will permit one bag plus one personal item, per customer to be carried on the aircraft at no charge. The maximum combined linear measurement (length + width + height) of carry-on bags must not exceed 14 inches x 9 inches x 22 inches (23 x 35 x 56 cm) or 45 linear inches (114 cm).
Please note: Any item in excess of carry-on baggage size or allowance requirements will be checked to your final destination and may be subject to applicable checked baggage fees.


Checked baggage
In general, United will accept up to two pieces of checked baggage with a maximum weight of 50 pounds (23 kg) per bag and a maximum combined linear measurement of 62 inches (157 cm) per bag in exchange for the applicable service fees set forth below. Additional checked bags or any bags that exceed these allowable weights and dimensions are subject to additional fees. Linear measurement of a bag is equal to the length + width + height of the bag added together. If your baggage needs require you to check additional baggage, or your baggage exceeds the listed size and weight

United Airlines realizes that at times it may be necessary to travel with an item that exceeds the size or weight limitations or is in excess of the baggage allowance. Additional charges apply to this type of baggage.

Any piece over the baggage allowance or baggage that exceeds the size and/or weight limitations will be subject to additional charges. Excess baggage is transported on a space-available basis and will be carried subject to load capacities of the aircraft. Other restrictions may apply.

Baggage in excess of 100 pounds (45 kilograms) or 115 linear inches (292 cm)(total length + width + height) will not be accepted as checked baggage. United will not accept more than 4 bags per customer that are overweight (more than 50 pounds), oversize (more than 62 linear inches) or a combination of overweight and oversize.
Assistive devices, including electric wheelchairs weighing more than 100 pounds (45 kilograms), will continue to be accepted at no charge.

How a bag is measured

A bag will be weighed and measured to ensure that it meets the dimensional requirements for shipping. Baggage is measured by length + width + height. The dimensions of each measurement are added together to compose the total number of linear inches/centimeters. The bag's thickest or widest part of the length, width and height will be measured.

Bag fees apply at any point where bags are checked. For a trip that includes one or more connections, bags will be checked to your final destination, and the fee for checking a bag from your origin to your destination will apply. For a trip that includes a voluntary stopover, your bags will be checked to your stopover point, where you will collect your bags. When you resume travel, you may check your bags again, subject to applicable fees from the new point of check-in to the destination.
Fees apply for certain economy class fares between the destinations indicated below based on dates of purchase and travel. Fee amounts are in U.S. dollars (USD).
