Hello,

I booked 2 award tickets in C for 2 adults and one child under 2.

Los angeles-Charlotte US Airways first class
Charlotte-Munich Lufthansa Business class
Munich-Lvov(ukraine) Lufthansa economy


Kiev(Ukraine)-Frankfurt Lufthansa business
Frankfurt-Chicago Lufthansa business
Chicago- Los Angeles United business

What is the baggage allowance for this trip. I received three receipts from United and in each of it says 2 bags 70lbs each free of charge. Is it correct? Called United but they didn't give me clear answer.

Thank you

Baggage Allowance for Children:
a)
Children paying for a seat will receive the appropriate baggage allowance for that seat;
b)
Lap children and infants carried without charge or traveling internationally on 10% of an Adult fare will be granted a Baggage Allowance of one stroller or one car seat and one other piece for carry-on only with Maximum Outside Linear Dimensions of 62 inches (157 cm) and a maximum weight of 50 pounds (22.7 kg). NOTE: If the Infant’s Baggage Allowance is exceeded, the excess will become part of the fare paying Adult’s Baggage Allowance and all restrictions and excess charges will apply.

This is from the UA website but can the dimensions & weight be correct for carryon?

1 bag up to 50 lbs as a carry on? Are you sure?

Please see my edit (as you were posting)

This is why you can't get a straight answer when you call!!!

If it were me I'd call several times until I was sure that I got the straight skinny. Something is wrong with the posted baggage rules on the UA web site as certainly you're not going to drag a 62 linear - 50 bag through the airport.

Then perhaps this is the change that you have been promised that you'll like?
