The perils of brevity due to posting from mobile ...

One of the main reasons I asked (but didn't explain) was that as the US airlines introduce charges and *A status slips away its a whole new experience.

Trip involves a 24h transit. We intend to leave YYZ having arrived on I class before coming back for onward flight to EWR in X.

Amadeus shows two bags allowed on all segments, so that is good ^, but https://bags.amadeus.com/Display.aspx?a=UA is saying both bags are chargeable in economy .

But https://www.united.com/cms/en-us/tra...edBaggage.aspx says 'Full-fare United Economy' gets 2 free checked bags, so hopefully X gets that treatment too !

Might be handy if the AC *G match comes through in time . That gets 3 bags free.

Final hope is that AC will interline YVR-YYZ-EWR, but not sure how that would work on the pre-immigration side of things.
