Default UA to charge $25 to check a 2nd bag

Hey all

I was just surfing the web and came across a story about UA charging
some passengers a $25 fee to check a 2nd bag. Looks if you buy a cheap
nonrefundable economy class ticket you will have to pay for checking
on more than 1 bag. For those who are frequent fliers on United or
Start Alliance Airlines or who buy full fare tickets they will be able
to check that extra piece of luggage. I guess I need to be careful
when I pack my bags for my Hawaiian trip in May.

Lots of Airlines in Europe have a limit of one bag for checked baggage,
weight not to exceed 23kg. Some of the el-cheapo Airlines charge for all
items of checked baggage .

I guess I had heard that. I am just used to taking a 25" or 26" case
and sometimes a garment bag as well. Sometimes the members of my
family share the garment bag or another large suite case, so it will
not be like we will each need to pay $25 each. Also I have been told
to wait and see if it is matched by other airlines or not.
