I will be travelling HAM-FRA-LAX-SFO, SFO-DEN and DEN-MUC-HAM with my (statusless) fiance next week on an award ticket in Y.
Is UA going to make us pay for checked luggage on the domestic routes? I called the FTL hotline and they said I should be fine but I don't trust them on this.

Doesn anybody have experience on this?
